Ingredients

• Walnuts - 150 grams
• Chickpeas - 100 grams (cooked)
• Garlic - 2 cloves
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Red bell pepper - 1, finely chopped
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Avocado - 1/2, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a food processor, combine the walnuts, chickpeas, garlic, onion, red bell pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.
3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs and beaten egg until fully incorporated.
4. Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
