This is my entry for the #steemitsandwichcontest week #38 by .
Thanks to , the judges and all the sponsors.
This is a cauliflower and chick pea burger. I had a head of cauliflower I needed to use so I decided to make a burger for the contest. I made riced cauliflower in my processor and mixed in some chick peas and lots of seasonings to add flavor. The great thing about cauliflower is that it sucks up any flavor that you add.
For the sandwich I used a 12 grain bread that had lots of texture and flavor. I love multi grain breads.
I debated on the condiment but ended up with Duke's mayonnaise. I didn't want to take away from all the flavors in the burger. For the topping I used my Amish cucumber/onion/jalapeno salad I made. Here is the link to the Amish Cucumber Salad post and recipe. It was refreshing and added some texture.
The burger and sandwich turned out great. I was pleasantly surprised and my husband had two. We have some burgers left over and I probably will have those with some eggs tomorrow morning.
The recipe for the burgers required 4 cups of riced cauliflower so I used the leftover cauliflower to make a stir fry rice.
