Just a quick simple post today, a follow-up on a favorite recipe.
I really do love the vegetarian chickpea burger recipe that I shared with you last April. It’s become a staple around here. My only beef (ha ha!) with the recipe is that often when I go to flip the burgers, they fall apart too easily. So, I have to be super careful and gentle…and often still mess them up!
I found the perfect solution! Chickpea Burger Sliders! I mini-me’d the burgers and used mini hamburger buns. They were super duper easy to flip and tasted just as delicious. I had to share that quick tip because I’m downright delighted by the discovery.
I found mini hamburger buns at Trader Joe’s, but given the recent popularity of “sliders,” I’m sure you can find them in other stores as well.
One more thing! I topped these particular burgers with cheddar cheese, sprouts and cucumbers, and a little mayo and mustard. Scrumptious, I say!
Yummm! What a great idea! Being that I cook for one, have you ever tried freezing these?
I haven’t tried freezing them, but I kind of think that would work well! There have been times when I haven’t cooked it all in one night, and I keep the leftover “batter” in the fridge and that works…and I really think freezing would be fine! but that’s just me guessing… 🙂
I made these the first time you posted, and they did sort of fall apart, but were delicious. I had lots of extra so I froze them, they were just fine reheated. Mini versions, great idea 🙂
These are on my menu for this week! (Although I think I’m going to try a falafel variation and serve them in pitas. We’ll see how it goes.) Thanks so much for sharing this recipe last spring–we probably had them most weeks throughout the summer 🙂
I’m so glad you like the recipe – and I think pitas is a GREAT idea! I’ll have to remember that!
These are totally cute!! And I love the color. I have such a hard time finding mini slider buns, but now I’ll have to check out my local Trader Joe’s… good to know! I do like the pita idea too 🙂
These are wicked cute. I can’t believe I haven’t made these yet! Needs to happen.
i’ve used those tiny yummy dinner rolls (like white castle) for sliders too 🙂 or mini bagels
These are SO CUTE!!! I’m dying to try them.
