VEGETABLES AND LEGUMES BURGER: 3 EASY RECIPES UNDER 200 CALORIES

Celery, onion and chickpea burger

These delicious burgers are perfect if we have celery leaves and don’t want to throw them away.
To make 4 burgers (one serving is a burger) we will need:

• one medium onion
• a plate of celery leaves (to be replaced with half a bag of rocket)
• plenty of parsley
• paprika or chili powder to taste
• 3 generous spoons of whole wheat flour or alternatively two and a half of buckwheat flour
• a jar of chickpeas (undrained weight: 380-425 grams)
• salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon of oil for cooking or to reduce calories, two short sprinkles of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray 
  lemon juice or mustard to serve.

Chop the onion with the celery and parsley leaves.
We combine the drained chickpeas and mince them together with the mixture (you will need a blender or a mixer). We transfer the mince into a bowl and add the spices. Add the wholemeal flour a little at a time: if the dough already seems very firm after two tablespoons, avoid the third. Form 4 burgers and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and oiled with a teaspoon of oil. We put the pan in the fridge for half an hour and then in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for 25 minutes. Let’s serve them with lemon juice or a hint of mustard.

We boil the peas and drain them well. Separately, mix the flour with the parmesan, turmeric, salt and pepper in a bowl. If desired, we can add a teaspoon of pizzaiolo yeast. In a blender, combine the peas with the egg and parsley.
We blend until creamy. We combine the cream with the dry flour mixture.
If the mixture is hard, add a tablespoon or two of milk, but it should be perfect that way.
Make four large burgers from the mixture (or 8 small ones, in this case the portion is two small ones) and transfer them to a pan lined with parchment paper and oiled with a teaspoon of olive oil. Alternatively we can place them in the air-fryer.
