Recipe information

  • Yield

    16 Burgers

Ingredients

2 cups (340 g) shelled and frozen edamame
1 can (15 ounces, or 420 g) chickpeas, with liquid
8 ounces (227 g) sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup (65 g) finely ground raw cashews
1/2 cup (60 g) nutritional yeast
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
1 teaspoon Bragg's Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 1/2 cups (420 g) chickpea flour
Oil, for frying

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the frozen edamame and the entire can of chickpeas, including the liquid, in a saucepot and warm through. This step is to defrost the edamame; if you use fresh or precooked edamame, you can skip this step.

    Step 2

    Combine the edamame, chickpeas and liquid, mushrooms, cashews, yeast, garlic, cumin, liquid smoke, liquid aminos, and salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.

    Step 3

    Slowly add the flour until a thicker consistency is formed. Depending on the moisture content of your mixture, you may need just a little flour or a whole lot.

    Step 4

    Place the entire bowl in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to stiffen up and make it easier to handle when forming the patties. Form into 16 patties.

    Step 5

    Heat the oil in a sauté pan and fry the patties for 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
