- 1 Cup Bread Crumbs Thicker Bread Crumb like Panko
- ½ Cup Vital Wheat Gluten Gluten Flour
- ⅓ Cup Bread Crumbs finer bread crumb
- 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgen Olive Oil
- ⅓ Cup Vegetable Stock
- 2 8 Tablespoons Soy Sauce light soy sauce or Tamari
- 3 8 Tablespoons Chickpea Flour (optional for breading)
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour (optional for breading)
- 1 tablespoon Poultry Seasoning I used Old Bay Seasoning, any other Chicken(Poultry) Seasoning will work (See the Subheading "How to Imitate the Taste of Chicken)
- ½ teaspoon Salt to Taste
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- ½ tablespoon Thyme
- ½ tablespoon Garlic Powder
- ½ tablespoon Onion Powder
- ½ tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 3 8 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil for frying (optional for breading)
For the Sandwich
- Hamburger Buns
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius)
- Add drained chickpeas to a large bowl. Mash them with a fork or potato masher. Make sure they are completely smashed - we don't want any whole chickpeas. Don't worry about the skin, it will add a lot of texture to our burger.
- Once it is well mashed you can add the rest of the ingredients, the oil, soy sauce, vegetable broth, spices, the wheat gluten, and ⅓ of the breadcrumbs (the other cup we will use to bread the burgers later)
- Mix with a fork until everything is well combined and then use your hands to knead for 2 or 3 minutes. The mix should become firmer and come together easily. (To cook without frying see the instructions "Oven Instructions")
- Mix 3 tablespoons of Chickpea Flour with ½ cups of water. Beat until everything is integrated and has the consistency of a beaten egg.
- Pour the rest of the bread crumbs (1 cup) onto a plate and and season with a bit of nutritional yeast and garlic powder.
- Place the patty in the chickpea "egg".
- Cover the burger with flour
- Take it out and put it back in the chickpea egg
- Finally, dip the patty in the chickpea egg wash once again and coat it with breadcrumbs.
Frying Instructions
- Fry the burgers in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
- Once they are golden brown, remove them from the oil and place the burgers on a baking tray to finish cooking in the oven for 20 minutes at 400°, turning each of them to the other side after 10 minutes.
- While they are cooking, toast your burger buns and prepare your toppings.
- When the burgers are finished, add lettuce, tomato your choice of sauce and serve on a bun.
Oven Instructions
- Bread the patties with the remaining cup of bread crumbs, you may have to press them in so that they are covered completely.
- Place the patties on a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes at 400° Fahrenheit. Turn each patty after 15 minutes so that they cook evenly until they are crunchy, crispy, firm and golden brown.
