Do you know a better way to end the first week of December than a Chickpeas Vegetarian Winter Burger?
I promised you some warm & delicious recipes this month, I think I can hardly do better 😉
How long does it take to prepare this Chickpeas Vegetarian Winter Burger?
This is not the fastest recipe, as you need to start working in the kitchen 3 hours and 30 minutes before dinner time if you want to make your own burger buns.
That said, if you prefer to leave this part of the recipe to your favourite baker, then count only about 30 minutes of preparation time.
How to slightly twist this burger recipe?
Cheese is key! I used Tomme de Savoie, one of my favourite cheeses in winter season, but I’m thinking of trying out a version with raclette cheese. Even more wintery isn’t it?
I hope you’ll like this recipe!
