Directions
In a food processor, blend chickpeas, beets, egg, garlic, 1 tablespoon honey, olive oil and vinegar together until pureed. Add french fried onions and just enough oats to the mixture, pulsing until a thick dough the texture of burger meat forms.
Form into patties. Cook over grill* or in a cast-iron pan, until golden and edges are slightly charred.
Schmear cheese on the bottom half of each burger bun. Drizzle with remaining honey. Grill or toast buns in hot oven, just until cheese is melted and buns begin to turn a very light golden brown.
Place burgers on buns on top of melted cheese. Top with pea shoots or arugula.
Serve and enjoy.
*For best results, cook on a grill pan drizzled with olive oil, over a grill heated to medium.
