Chickpea Quinoa Burgers with Pineapple

A recommendation from Tracey Henderson, this veggie burger is one of the few that holds up on the grill! Full of protein and Indian flare, it was super easy to throw together for a quick dinner! Sweet potato fries accompanied ours! 

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, drained
1/2 c. coconut milk
1/2 tsp. curry
1/2 tsp. garam masala
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. adobo seasoning
1/4 c. fresh chives or scallions, chopped
1/2 c. quinoa, cooked
2/3 c. panko breadcrumbs
4 slices fresh pineapple
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. toasted sesame seed oil
1/4 c. Veganaise
lime zest
black pepper, freshly ground
4 whole wheat hamburger buns

Directions
Place the chickpeas, coconut milk, curry, garam masala, adobo seasoning, and garlic powder in a food processor. Pulse until pureed. Stir in the chives, Quinoa, and panko crumbs. Form into 4 patties.
Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Mist patties with olive oil spray and grill patties until golden brown on each side. Then set aside the patties, mist pineapple with sesame seed oil spray and grill until grill lines appear on each side of the fruit.

In a small bowl, stir together the lime zest, pepper, and Veganaise.
Serve the Chickpea burgers topped with grilled pineapple, your flavored Veganaise, and a bit of lettuce on top of of your burger buns.
