I'm always looking for variations on favorite flavors and these burgers are just the thing! They have a falafel-type taste, but are great if you can't eat falafel, or don't feel like making fried falafel. You can serve them in homemade gluten-free pita breads or on your favorite gluten-free hamburger bun. They're also perfect for my mom, who is allergic to nuts and legumes, like chickpeas. You can fry these up on the BBQ, but I like to just bake them up in the oven when it's cold and snowy outside. Enjoy!
In a large bowl, mix together thoroughly:
1 lb. ground beef
2 Tbsp freeze-dried cilantro OR 1/4 - 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, finely diced
1 tsp freeze-dried chives OR 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely diced
1/2 large onion, minced
3 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/3 - 1/2 cup gluten-free rice breadcrumbs
1 egg
Form into hamburger patties. Flatten with hands and oil each side with olive oil or avocado oil. Place on a cookie sheet.
Bake hamburgers at 375 F for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. (Cook time varies depending on size and thickness of your burgers.)
These are SO great to have in place of falafel in a homemade pita with cucumber tzaziki sauce. You can add lettuce and tomatoes, too. Enjoy!
