- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Mushrooms: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are soft and the onions are translucent.
- Prepare the Burger Mix: In a food processor, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, chickpeas, breadcrumbs, and spices. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.
- Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into burger-sized patties, pressing them firmly to hold together.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a little more olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Serve the patties on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and your favorite sauce or vegan mayo.
