Victory Vegan Burgers for the 4th or anytime

Makes about 4 burgers – I doubled the recipe to have extra later in the week.

Ingredients

1 can of green jackfruit, drained and rinsed

1 L of vegetable broth

1/3 Cup Chickpea/Garbanzo Flour (Sprouts had this)

1/3 Cup chopped red onions

1 tsp of grated Ginger

2 tsp minced Garlic

1/4 Cup Cilantro, chopped

1 tsp of Curry powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp Sriracha Sauce (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

Ground Black Pepper to taste

1 tbsp. of avocado oil

Coconut oil spray for pan / grill and to spray buns

Burger buns ( used TJ Whole Wheat Slims – photo below)

Condiments of your choice – see below for suggestions

Instructions

1. Boil the green jackfruit in enough veggie broth till fork tender. Drain the water and transfer to a food processor along with the chickpea/garbanzo flour, chopped onions, grated ginger, garlic, cilantro, curry powder, paprika, Sriracha, salt and black pepper and a tablespoon of avocado oil.

Give food processor a few pulses till everything comes together. Don’t over blend or the texture will be like a smoothie! Keep it the texture of ground meat. See below for a picture.

2. Take the patty mix out and place in a bowl. Add little more chickpea flour if the mix feels too sticky. Shape into patties (about ⅓ cup each) and chill for about 30 minutes in the fridge.

3. Heat pan sprayed with coconut oil. Fry the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until desired brown.

4. Spray the undersides of the hamburger buns with coconut spray. Toast on same skillet (if you have room do it at the same time)

5. Serve with buns and condiments – see below for suggestions
