coconut-curry quinoa burgers












via cheeky kitchen
1 can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon curry
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 tablespoon dried chives
1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 slices fresh pineapple
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
1/4 cup greek yogurt
lime zest
pepper
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
4 teaspoons butter
lettuce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the chickpeas, coconut milk, curry, garam masala, onion salt, and garlic powder in a food processor. Pulse until pureed. Stir in the chives, Quinoa, and panko crumbs. Form into 4 patties.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with olive oil and a bit of sesame oil. Pan fry patties until golden brown on each side. Then set aside the patties and grill the pineapple until golden brown grill lines appear on each side of the fruit.

Butter the inside halves of the hamburger buns with butter. Bake, buttered sides up, under the broiler, until the butter is melted and the buns are toasty.

In a small bowl, stir together the lime zest, pepper, and greek yogurt.

Serve the Chickpea burgers topped with grilled pineapple, the greek yogurt, and a bit of lettuce.
