How to Make Spicy Chickpea Burgers
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add 1-2 serrano chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference). Cook, stirring frequently, until chilies are tender (about 3-5 minutes).
- In a food processor, combine the pepper mixture with 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Pulse until coarsely chopped but not completely pureed.
- Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Gently form the mixture into 4 patties. (Note: Due to the crumbly nature, these burgers may be slightly fragile.)
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until heated through and browned. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
