For variety, or if you don't feel like eating meat for once.
Preparation
- Drain the chickpeas in a sieve. Meanwhile, briefly fry the onion, garlic and bell pepper in a little (olive) oil with the cumin powder and chili flakes. Let this cool down a little. Put this in a food processor and make it slightly finer; add the chickpeas and let the machine chop it finer. If you don't have a food processor, you can also do this with a potato masher. Make sure it doesn't become a puree but still has some texture. Season with salt, pepper and any other flavorings.
- Put everything in a bowl and add the flour, mixing until you have a firm but moist mass (you don't have to use all the flour), similar to a meatball. Make burgers out of this and put them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the burgers until brown. - Serve on a bun as desired. Delicious with sweet potato fries and aioli.
