Couscous Cilantro Veggie Burger Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mallorydowd / All my dishes 5 months, 4 weeks ago This is a hearty, healthy vegetarian burger that just bursts with flavor! Couscous, chickpeas, and cilantro dictate the flavor of this green delight! Great alternative to meat burgers and the run of the mill soy burgers. This is soy-free and chock full of grains, legumes, and veggies!... More Prep:20m Cook:8m Servings:6	Mallorydowd

Ingredients

1/2 cup couscous

1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

1 cup herb stuffing mix, mashed into crumbs

1.5 cups fresh or frozen veggies (corn, peas, carrots)

4 eggs

1 red onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup spinach, chopped

1 cup cilantro, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Cook couscous

Thaw veggies (if frozen) and lightly cook

Drain and rinse garbanzo beans

Mix onions, corn, peas, and carrots in a large bowl, then add 2/3 of the cooked couscous

Blend garbanzo beans, spinach, and cilantro into a puree

Add eggs and blend, one at a time

Add stuffing crumbs and blend

Combine all ingredients (including olive oil) and mix until nearly smooth

Add the remaining 1/3 couscous (this will serve to both bind ingredients together and add a delicious grainy texture)

Fry on stovetop in a bit of olive oil or grill. Burgers will have a green color due to the spinach and cilantro; cook until golden brown on both sides

Serve on a whole wheat bun with veganaise, tomato, romaine, and avacado slices

Yum this sounds delicious and super fresh tasting! My vegg friends are sure to love these. Do you have any suggestions for an animal-free binder?

I substituted zesty bread crumbs for the herb stuffing and the burgers came out with a nice spicy kick to them. I had to sort of eyeball the amount, basically adding them until the consistency seemed right. They were great!

Great! I'll admit...the only reason I used the stuffing mix was because it had been sitting in my cupboard unused for so long!

This sounds like a delicious alternative!
