preparation
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lentils, onion, minced garlic, and shredded carrot. Once blended, add in eggs, aioli, parsley, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Once thoroughly combined, slowly add breadcrumbs to thicken the mixture.
2. Once thickened, scoop into 5-ounce portions and shape into burger patties.
3. When patties are formed, lightly dust with all-purpose flour.
4. Heat canola oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add patties and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
5. Oven roast garlic cloves with olive oil and salt & pepper until golden brown.
6. Once roasted, blend roasted garlic, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a food processor until creamy.
7. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
8. Finely shred red cabbage.
9. Once shredded, toss in Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce.
10. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
11. Lightly toast a whole grain bun.
12. Once toasted, begin to layer ingredients starting with a generous layer of garlic aioli spread on the bottom bun.
13. Next, add one veggie “burger” patty. Follow this by adding baby spinach, two thin slices of tomato, and red cabbage chili slaw. Top the “burger” with the top bun and another layer of garlic aioli spread.
