Ingredients


Chickpea-Burger Lemon - 1 Egg - 1 large Chickpeas - 1 can (15.5 oz) Rolled-Oats - ½ cup Red-Onion - 1/2 unit Garlic - 1 clove Parsley - ½ bunch Cumin - 1 tablespoon Salt - ½ teaspoon Pepper - ½ teaspoon Oil - 2 tablespoons olive oil Sautéd-Collard-Greens Collard-Greens - 1 bunch (10oz) Oil - 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt - 1/4 teaspoon Garlic - 2 cloves Red-Pepper-Flakes - pinch (optional) Lemon - wedges, optional Toppings Tzatziki-Sauce - (optional) Hot-Sauce - (optional)

Instructions

Step 1
To make the burgers, first squeeze the lemon into a bowl. Crack an egg into the bowl and remove any shells.
Step 2
Open the can of chickpeas, rinse using a colander, and add them to the bowl.
Step 3
Place the oats into a blender or food processor and blend until a flour like consistency. Add the oat flour to the bowl.
Step 4
Finely chop the onion and parsley and mince the garlic and add to the bowl. Add the cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mash mixture with a jar until a paste starts to form (or use a food processor).
Step 5
Heat a frying pan with olive oil on medium-high heat. Form the burger patties using a 1/4 measuring cup. Scoop the bean mixture onto the pan. Flatten the burger patties and cook for 5 minutes. Flip, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 6
While the bean burgers are cooking, cut out the thick center rib out of each collard green. Stack the greens and roll them up into a log. Slice the greens as thinly as possible to make long strands. Stack the ribs and finally chop.
Step 7
Once the burgers are finished, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the collard greens and the salt.
Step 8
Cook for 5-6 minutes stirring often. The greens should become tender and start to turn brown on the edges.
Step 9
Once the collards are just about done, add the garlic (and red pepper flakes) and cook for only about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 10
Serve hot (and with a lemon wedge each and/or your favorite hot or yogurt sauce)

Notes

Make the burgers using a food processor by adding all the ingredients and pulsing until s course dough forms.
