Instructions: 

  • Into the bowl of a food processor, add 1 can of drained and rinsed chickpeas. Blitz until crumbly (about 8-10 pulses).
  • Add your chick peas to a large mixing bowl along with cottage cheese, garlic cloves, green opinions, tahini, crumbled feta, the zest of 1 lemon, rice flour, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder and an egg.
  • With a wooden spoon, mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
  • Place in the fridge to set up for about 15 min.
  • Into a bowl add 1 diced dill pickle, capers, Dijon, Greek yogurt, mayo and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
  • Form your patties and place on individual squares of parchment paper. This helps them keep their shape.
  • Place a frying pan over medium heat and add in about 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once heated, gently lay your patties and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 min on each side. Remove your patties from the pan. Toast your buns, slice your tomato, top with fresh greens and enjoy!
