As promised in my last burger blog I am posting a recipe for a vegan burger. Imagine Lebanese and Indian flavors and spices combined in a sweet and healthy burger.
This is that.
I have started switching things up a bit, playing with different spices and flavor combinations and hope you try it also. This burger can be quite easy to make if you want to use canned ingredients. For instance canned chickpea, canned lentils, and canned sweet potato puree, but you can also make your own chickpeas and lentils from dried. Plus you also can roast a sweet potato for the puree. You can decide how much homemade you want.

I really enjoyed the flavor combination and texture of this burger. Even though I am not a vegetarian or vegan I will make this burger again. I think this would be a great appetizer. Make the patties quite small and top with a spicy yogurt dip or as the filling for a lettuce wrap.
