Method
Preparing the Burger Patty
Mash the Chickpeas
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
Mix Ingredients
Add the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, and olive oil to the mashed chickpeas. Stir until well combined.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Chill Patties
Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Cooking the Patties
Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Cook the Patties
Once the oil is hot, add the chilled chickpea patties to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Buns
Slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly in the skillet or oven if desired.
Add the Patties
Place a cooked chickpea patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Add Toppings
Layer the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion, and avocado on top of the patties. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.
Complete the Burger
Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
