Meatless Monday - Garbanzo Burgers

So about a month ago I decided to start a new tradition with... MEATLESS MONDAY! There are lots of great reasons to try rely less on meat: a) healthier, b) cheaper, c) better for the environment. SO, this is last nights meatless meal, Garbanzo bean burgers and sweet potatoe fries. I adapted the recipe from the latest Everyday Rachel Ray magazine (April 2012) to serve 2 instead of 4, which actually made a bonus patty for today's lunch.






Garbanzo Bean Burgers for 2 (or 3)

1 - 15 oz can of garbanzo beans (or 1 1/2 cup rehydrated dry beans)
1/4 cup parsley leaves
1 1/2 TBS plain bread crumbs
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1-2 cloves of garlic

Puree in a food processer and form into patties

Heat up some olive oil (or other oil) in a pan on medium heat and cook 3-5 mins a side.

Such an easy tasty meal!
