Chickpea Burgers

This recipe was also accompanied with a recipe for tahini sauce but, Im not a big fan of tahini so Id imagine it's about 350 calories as opposed to the 399 the original recipe proclaims.  I used A1 instead.  Perfect.

These were good on the night I made them.  If I wouldnt have waited 3 days to eat them, they probably wouldve been more satisfying.  Right off the grill pan, these were bangin'.  Long story short: dont wait more than a day to eat these.
