Instructions
Preparing the Taro Mixture
- Place the grated taro, chickpeas, red onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
- Blend or pulse until everything is well mixed but still has some chunks for texture.
Forming the Patties
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in bread crumbs until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties.
Cooking the Patties
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
- Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Assembling the Burgers
- Toast the whole wheat buns lightly.
- Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the taro patty.
- Top with tomato and avocado slices before covering with the top half of the bun.
Notes
- Ensure the taro is well grated to avoid any large chunks that might affect the texture of your patties.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs to help it bind together.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite sauce or seasoning blend to the taro mixture.
