Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 240 grams (1 can, drained)
• Red bell pepper - 50 grams (finely chopped)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Vegan mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1 (sliced)

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
2. Add the chopped red bell pepper, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, olive oil, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two burger patties, ensuring they hold together well.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on a separate skillet or in a toaster.
6. Spread a tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each bun, then place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
7. Once the patties are cooked, place one on top of the lettuce on each bun, followed by a slice of tomato.
8. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
