4 Servings
Prep 5 min
Cook 8 min

Ingredients:

One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles
2/3 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
2/3 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 thin slices cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns
Dijon mustard, ketchup or mayonnaise, for serving

Spice it up
Add a few dashes of ground cumin, curry powder or cayenne pepper to the chickpea mixture.

Directions:

In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, green chiles and parsley until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the egg and form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 2/3 inch thick.
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more. Top the patties with the cheese slices for the last minute of cooking. Serve the cheeseburgers on the hamburger buns with mustard, ketchup or mayonnaise.
