Name: Chickpea Burgers

God is sovereign and supreme over all. Were He to share His glory with other so-called gods, He would be elevating them to a position that would not be consistent with their true nature, and it likewise would be making Him untrue to His own nature – less than the preeminent God He is. He must be faithful to Himself and maintain His high and holy position, and He wants His creatures to attribute to Him that degree of honor. Basically, that is what He means when He says, “I shall be jealous for My holy name” (Ezekiel 39:25). His jealousy does not grow out of insecurity, anxiety, frustration, covetousness, pride, or spite, as ours usually does. It is the natural and necessary by-product of His absolute sovereignty and infinite holiness.

INSTRUCTIONS

I made these last weekend, they are from the July/August 1993 issue of
Eating Well magazine.  I was specifically looking for a vegggie burger
which could go on the grill.
Cook the sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden.  Add coriander and cumin
and cook until fragrant (30 sec.).  Set aside to cool, then grind (I didn't
bother to do this).  Add oil to pan and saute the garlic and scallions
until tender.
Mash the chickpeas well, then stir in the rice and 1/3 cup wheat germ,
lemon juice, salt, pepper, sesame seeds, and garlic/scallions.
Shape into 4 3/4" patties.  Dredge in remaining 1/3 cup wheat germ,
pressing firmly onto the patties. (I forgot to do this and they were fine)
Grill or broil on patties and tomato on a lightly oiled rack until browned
and heated through.  Tuck the patties into pitas; garnish with yogurt and
spinach.
Serve w/ Carrot Salad with Cumin (see recipe).
