Crush the chickpeas
Mash the chickpeas in a bowl with a fork — keep some texture. Stir in breadcrumbs, onion, garlic and spices.
2
Form the patties
Shape into four firm patties. Chill for ten minutes.
3
Pan-fry
Cook patties in olive oil over medium heat for four minutes per side until deeply browned.
4
Build
Whisk tahini and lemon juice with a tablespoon of water into a sauce. Toast the buns and assemble with patty, sauce, lettuce and tomato.
VEG.ARMY TIP
Squeeze grated onion in a clean tea towel — drier onion means a burger that holds together.
