The Ultimate Cauliflower Burger

How does cauliflower become a 'patty'? The answer lies in layering textures. Cauliflower provides juiciness, chickpeas provide density, and oats provide the chew. Flaxseed is the 'glue' here, preventing the patty from crumbling in the pan.

Equipment Needed

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the flaxseed meal with water and set aside for 5-10 minutes to gel.

Tip: This 'flax egg' will replace the binding power of chicken eggs with its gelatinous texture (hydrocolloid).
2 ✓

Separate cauliflower into florets, steam until soft, then squeeze out as much water as possible using a kitchen towel. Chop into crumbs.

Tip: Excess water would turn into steam during frying, breaking the patty apart.
3 ✓

Pulse the chickpeas, onion, garlic, and spices in a food processor. Don't puree; keep some texture!

Tip: The chunky texture ensures a 'meaty' bite.
4 ✓

In a bowl, knead together the cauliflower, chickpea mixture, oats, parsley, and flax egg.

Tip: The oats act like a sponge here: absorbing remaining moisture and stabilizing the mass.
5 ✓

Form 4 patties and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Tip: During resting, the oats hydrate and the structure solidifies, so it won't fall apart when frying.
6 ✓

Fry the patties in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until they get a dark brown crust.

Tip: Be patient! If you flip too early, it will break. The crust holds it together.
7 ✓

Serve in buns with mayo and your favorite veggies.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the inside mushy?
Likely too much moisture remained. The cauliflower must be squeezed thoroughly, and the patties need to rest before frying so the oats absorb liquid.
