Enjoying a vegetarian burger can be tough when you are looking for colour and flavour. Well these burgers have both and don’t need a bun! The burst of fresh grape tomatoes adds a nice balance to these patties with a twist.
In a bowl, combine tomatoes, parsley, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle with vinegar; set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook carrots, leek and garlic for about 6 minutes or until softened. Add chickpeas and broth; cover and cook for 3 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Mash mixture with potato masher; let cool slightly.
Scrape chickpea mixture into a bowl and stir in egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Shape into 6 patties.
Heat remaining oil in skillet and pan fry patties about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve with Grape Tomato Salsa.
