Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup soaked chickpeas
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • 3/4 cup parsley fresh
  • 2 tsp dried coriander
  • 1 tsp dried cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1-2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions
 

  • Once the chickpeas have soaked (Chickpeas need to be soaked overnight). Drain the remaining water. I let mine dry for about 10 minutes. rub them between 2 paper towels to help get rid of any excess water.
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend until finely ground BUT don’t blend into hummus.
  • Chill in the fridge for an hour. (for best results)
  • Fry on the stove. I used avocado oil. Depending on the stove one side should fry in 5-8 minutes with medium heat
  • enjoy with your favorite bun and burger toppings!! I'm a mustard and mayo girl:)
  • Enjoy.

Notes

If your patties are too wet. Add a little more flour to help them stick together!
 
I find that they fry much better once they have chilled for an hour. They aren't falling apart at this point.
 
I used dried ground spices from the store.
 
I have not tried this recipe with canned chickpea if you try please comment on how it went!!
