Chickpea Burgers & Tahini Sauce

Nice

These were great! New to cooking vegetarian and my husband who is a real "meat and potatoes" guy loved it too! Followed the recipe as written, only adding an extra 2 T flour to firm it up more, wrapped in whole wheat Greek flatbread with spinach and tomatoes. only thing I might add in the future would be some garlic.

These burgers are great, but could use a little more seasoning if eaten without the sauce. If you make the patties on waxed paper which you then turn over and release burgers into the pan, they stay together. No need for a lot of oil. I use minimal safflower brushed onto the pan.

I could not get these to stay together at all. Good flavor, but I was hoping to eat it as a patty on a lettuce leaf, and that was just not going to happen. Very frustrating!

Sauce is the best part! I love these chickpea burgers. They are super easy to make, and the yogurt/tahini sauce balances out the flavors so well. I have made it numerous times, and eat time find myself licking the sauce off my fingers.

Pretty Good, needs a little more flavorI just added tomato's and red onions to mine to make it more flavorful. I also made the sauce a bit different.. i put greek yogurt (cus thats all i had) natural peanut butter instead of tahini.. the sauce was a little strong and tasted a little too much like peanut butter.. but overall its was pretty good and filling and made me feel great!Pros: healthy, vegan, tastes good.Cons: needs a bit more flavor

Interesting but very goodI was a little hesitant to try this recipe, but I'm glad I did because it was very good. I added garlic like a reviewer suggested and 1 jalapeno to the chickpea mixture. It gave it just the right amount of kick so it wouldn't be bland.I also refrigerated the patties for one night and wetted my hand before forming the them like another reviewer suggested. This made making and cooking the patties much easier. Next I think I will just buy a flavored dip, I didn't really like the one I made.

One of my favoritesI am not a huge pita fan, so I use whole-wheat hamburger buns for this. It's a favorite in our house. We usually serve with sweet potato fries, which also is good with the leftover tahina sauce (of which there is a lot of leftover!). The dish has also gone over well when we served to meat eating friends and family.Pros: Meat-eaters also really like this

Fine recipe; my wife especially liked the sauce. I made the patties and refrigerated them overnight; they never appeared to be falling apart, so the cooling/resting time probably helped. I am far from being a vegetarian, but was quite satisfied with these.

These would have received 5 stars, but as written the recipe lacks enough flavor for me. I double up the cumin, add some garlic, and voilla--delicious! I always let them chill a bit in the fridge and never have a problem with the patties falling apart. Do make sure your hands are wet so the mixture doesn't stick. They freeze well, too--you can bake from frozen, or thaw and pan-fry.

Pretty good and fairly filling, but next time, I'll use less oregano and add a little garlic. I also used just a splash of lemon juice in the blender--using a food processor would be easier. :) I didn't make the sauce because tahini turned-out to be hard-to-find in my neck of the woods and expensive when I finally did; used spinach-artichoke hummus.

This is a terrific recipe! Great for a non-meat weeknight! My 3 YO loved it too! We used a little extra lemon juice in the sauce and thought the flavor was fresh and bright.

I love this recipe! I make it all the time, but I use almost double the recommended amount of tahini in the yogurt sauce.

This is one of our most favorites. It's easy to prepare and over-the-top delicious. We've started modifying the recipe using other spice combinations with different toppings.
