Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 200 grams (cooked)
• Red onion - 1 medium (sliced)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Red bell pepper - 1 (diced)
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 (beaten)
• Burger buns - 2
• Cheese (optional) - 2 slices
• Baby spinach - a handful

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced red onion. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized (about 10-15 minutes).
2. Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
4. Stir in the caramelized onion mixture, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and beaten egg until well combined.
5. Form the mixture into 2 patties.
6. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
7. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, adding a slice of cheese (if using), and topping with baby spinach. Serve immediately.
