Chickpea, sun-dried tomato and basil burgers
*Plus 45 minutes of soaking and resting
These chickpea, sun-dried tomato and basil burgers have the perfect texture and a spectacular flavor. They are also very easy to prepare.
The smoothness of the chickpeas blends with the tangy intensity of the sun-dried tomato and the sweet notes of the red onion, which, together with the aromatic flavor of fresh basil, makes these burgers delicious whether served between buns or on their own.
As for the texture, it is very firm thanks to the legume base, so they are very easy to shape and do not fall apart when cooked.
This also makes them versatile, since you can choose between baking them or, if you prefer, pan-frying them.
If we also serve them with some sprouts or caramelized onion, and add a mild sauce such as vegan mayonnaise or guacamole, we create the perfect combination to fully enjoy the incredible flavor of this burger, guilt-free, since we know its ingredients are not only delicious but also healthy and sustainable.

- Step 1We put the dried tomatoes to hydrate in hot water for 15 minutes.
- Step 2Rinse and drain the chickpeas very well, put them together with the rest of the ingredients in the glass of the chopper and chop them until a homogeneous mass is obtained. We remove the mass from the glass of the chopper and form a ball.
- Step 3We pass the dough to a bowl, cover it and put it in the fridge for 1 hour to rest.
- Step 4Preheat the oven to 200 °C. While it's preheating, take the dough out of the refrigerator and take pieces of it, shaping them into patties. As you finish shaping them, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 5Once all the burgers are prepared, place them in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 200 °C. After this time, remove them from the oven, assemble them with your preferred toppings, and serve.
