"After an unsuccessful search for the perfect (for me) chickpea burger recipe, I decided to concoct my own burger. This was thrown together with ingredients I had on hand, and the result was delicious and nutritious. I'm sure you could make substitutions to create your own perfect burger. Enjoy!"

ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 (8 ounce) bag pre-washed spinach
2 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 small carrot, grated
¹⁄₂ cup wheat bran
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
¹⁄₂ teaspoon paprika

directions

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet on medium-low.
Add spinach and saute, turning frequently, until wilted.
Put spinach onto a plate to cool.
Add chick peas, eggs, and seasonings to a food processor and pulse until combined.
Add cooled spinach and process until spinach is incorporated.
Pour mixture into a mixing bowl, then add carrot and wheat bran and stir to combine.
Shape mixture into 4 patties - they will be very mushy, but they will crisp up when cooking.
Heat 2 tbsp oil (or canola spray) on medium-high in a nonstick skillet.
Add patties and cook about 5 minutes per side.
Serve on a bun with a little ranch dressing, or however you like!
