Beetroot and Chickpea Burger with Walnut-Onion Dressing
Devising healthy meals can be tricky, that's why we do it for you. These beetroot and chickpea burgers are great to prepare and I can guarantee you won't taste that they are 'healthy'. The combination of the chickpeas with the walnut-onion sauce makes for a real taste sensation.
The Miras chickpeas provide a good base for this dish, you can do anything with them. They are used in Eastern Mediterranean cuisine for beef or lamb stews. The cooked chickpeas also go well in a salad or through a rice pilaf. Let us not forget the popular hummus: delicious as a starter, with meat, but also on bread.
Time to get started
- Rinse the chickpeas in a sieve and put them in a large mixing bowl.
- With the hand blender, puree the chickpeas. When it is ready, put it to one side.
- Chop 1 onion and the garlic finely and put them in a hot pan with olive oil. Fry until translucent.
- Add the onions to the chickpeas, together with the oatmeal, egg, spices and chopped beetroot.
- Mix everything together well. If the mixture is still too wet, add some more oatmeal.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal pieces and make them into burgers. Meanwhile, heat a pan with olive oil.
- Fry the burgers golden brown on both sides and then place them on a baking tray with baking paper.
- Bake the burgers in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- For the sauce, chop the rest of the onions and fry them in a pan with oil. Add the ketjap manis and fry until the onions are caramelised.
- Chop the walnuts into small pieces and add them to the yoghurt. When the onions are ready, add them too. Finish off with some thyme.
- Spread the sauce on a bun and put the burger on top, also put some of the sauce on top of the burger. Finish off with some lettuce and walnuts and enjoy!
