Chickpea and zucchini veggie burger

Scorrere verso il basso

What can I say about these chickpea and zucchini veggie burger besides the fact that it is just delicious? It is also simple and quick to prepare and very flavourful. Often vegetarian burgers are just blend. Let’s face it, zucchini and chickpeas together are not an explosion of flavor. The veggie burgers need spice and texture and I assure you that both this one have both. It is super tasty, soft but at the same time it keeps its shape and do not crumble.

Often we bloggers write the introductions one kilometer long explaining how we got an idea of ​​a recipe as we walked in the rain and thought about the events of our past. I just can’t do it. I can’t write kilometric monologues on a vegetarian burger. What can I tell you … I don’t eat meat, I think it means something, it’s not a publicity stunt. I prepare many vegetarian and vegan burgers. This is a veggie burger that I prepare for my family. It is good and I recommend it!
