Instructions
Rinse the chickpeas and soak overnight in cool water. After soaking boil until tender.
Dice white onion, mince garlic, and sauté in 1 tbsp. of olive oil until aromatic. If the onion and garlic are sticking to the pan, feel free to add up to 1 cup of vegetable broth.
Add cooked chickpeas, cooked fava beans, and sautéed onion and garlic to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well mixed, but some chickpeas are still whole.
Add breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, cilantro, cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Pulse again.
Add ½ cup of whole wheat flour to the food processor and pulse on low. Use a rubber spatula if necessary to scrape the mixture down from the side of the mixer.
Once the mixture has thickened, use 1 tbsp. of olive oil to line the sheet pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Flour your hands and mold ½ cup of the mixture into a patty. This recipe makes 8 patties.
Cook patties for 20 minutes and then flip, cook for 20 more minutes or until the patties begin to brown.
Warm buns in the oven, then add all the fixings!
