Notes
I prefer to leave the chickpeas chunky – if you prefer a smoother burger feel free to mash longer.
I encourage you to use organic tahini whenever possible.
I used white button mushrooms in this recipe – shitake mushrooms would work just as well.
If you do not have time to cook your chickpeas you can certainly use canned but please drain and rinse before using to eliminate extra sodium.
