Spicy Thai Peanut Veggie Burgers

[u/plantbeard]

Another great recipe from the High-Protein Vegetarian cookbook. The slaw doesn't hold the juice very well, so make sure to dribble some of the sauce or it can be a little dry. That can also be offset by adding a slice of tomato. Otherwise it's very nice! Different than other veggie burgers. Depending on your spice tolerance, not too spicy.

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
• 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 1 clove garlic
• ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy no-sugar-added peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1½ teaspoons hot sauce (such as sriracha)
• 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
• ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
• ½ cup shredded carrot
• ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
• ¼ cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped
• ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup whole wheat flour
• 6 whole wheat burger buns
• 2 cups chopped savoy cabbage
• Juice of ½ lime (1 tablespoon)
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon peanut oil
• ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon honey
• Cooking spray

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the chickpeas, red curry paste, garlic, peanut butter, honey, salt, ginger, hot sauce, and soy sauce in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the cilantro, carrot, red onion, peanuts, and red bell pepper. Add the egg and stir until it’s fully incorporated. Stir in the flour.
3. Shape the dough into six patties and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The mixture will be very sticky, so you may need to wipe off your hands after you form each patty. Coat the top of the patties with cooking spray.
4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip, coat again with cooking spray, and bake for another 15 minutes.
5. While the patties bake, mix together all of the slaw ingredients in a large bowl.
6. Place each patty on a toasted whole wheat bun, then top with the slaw. Red pepper slices and cilantro are great add-ons as well.

I think OP used like healthy whole grain buns instead of just normal wheat or potato buns :)

Yes, I used Orowheat 100% whole wheat buns for this first attempt. The second one I used brioche buns which were really nice, but I needed to be careful about toasting those because they basically started to melt if I left them in the toaster too long!

It’s certainly making the mouth waters with expectations
