Chick Pea/Garbanzo Bean Burgers

You heard me! You can easily make this out of a can of garbanzo beans, however I took a few extra steps & used dried garbanzo beans & soaked them in water overnight. Just continue reading for the recipe!!!

Ingredients

1/2 cup of dried garbanzo beans (soak in water the day before doing this recipe)
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup green pepper
1/2 cup kale
1/2 cup ketchup 
1 egg
seasoning (I used my rosemary, garlic & thyme seasoning)

Boil the soaked garbanzo beans (no need to do this if using canned) for approx 10 minutes (or until tender). Once this step is done, mash them with a fork (or a mortar & pestle)

Chop up the onion, green pepper & kale; add anything that's remaining into the bowl. Mix.

Form into patties (I did 8 small ones) & bake at 350 for 20 minutes (10 mins on each side)
