Cooking instruction summary:

1 Make and chill the patty mixture: In a food processor, add the chickpeas, grated carrot, garlic, and spices. Pulse the mixture a few times until combined into a rough paste. Add the egg and breadcrumbs, and pulse a few more times until mixture is evenly mixed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and chill for at least an hour or up to 24 hours. Chilling helps the mixture hold together a little better when forming the patties and when grilling. Patties can also be shaped and grilled immediately, but will be fairly delicate. We recommend using a grill pan to grill the patties. 2 Shape the patties: Divide burger mixture into six even patties, and transfer to a plate or sheet pan to make it easy to carry to the grill. If you're not grilling right away, loosely cover the patties and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill. 3 Make the Green Goddess Sauce: Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a food processor with the blade attachment. Process until the sauce is smooth, has a uniform color, and an even consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon. Taste the sauce and season to your liking with salt and pepper. This sauce can also be made a few days ahead and kept refrigerated. 4 Prep all other burger ingredients: Make sure your burger buns, lettuce, sliced onion, and cheese are all prepped and arranged near the grill. 5 Preheat the grill: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to direct medium-high heat. Prep all other burger ingredients (lettuce, red onion, cheese). 6 Grill the burgers: When youre ready to cook burgers, lightly oil the grill grates or a grill pan with canola oil. Grill burgers for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until a crust forms on the outside. If youre using cheese, add sliced cheese in the last minute of grilling. 7 Serve: Serve the burgers immediately with fresh lettuce, red onion, and slathered with the Green Goddess sauce. Cooked burgers will keep well in the fridge for 4 to 5 days and uncooked burgers should be cooked within a day or two or frozen for later and then thawed before grilling.

Food Joke

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it... This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it...all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer...and, honest mister, all I did was tell her!"
