Garbanzo Bean Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/2 cup carrots, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (or 1 (15 1/2-ounce) can, drained)
• 5 tablespoons gluten flour
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or just use cornstarch)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped finely
• Oil for frying

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onions, carrots, garlic, cumin, celery seed, and salt over medium heat until the onions are transparent. In a food processor, combine the nuts, and blend until 1/2 are a coarse meal and the other are just cracked. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the Sauteed vegetable mixture. Add the garbanzo beans in the processor and process the same way as the nuts. Add flour and arrowroot. Add the beans and parsley to the mixing bowl. Mix everything together well until the mixture has enough body to form a patty. If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add a small amount of water to help the mixture bind. Form the mixture into 4 burgers. Lightly oil the frying pan and fry the burgers over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until lightly browned
