ingredients

1 small onion, diced
3 Tbsp. minced celery
2 Tbsp. minced red bell pepper
2 Tbsp. minced parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. curry powder
¼ tsp. ground cumin

Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

preparation

4 servings
Serving size: 1 patty
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 14 minutes

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add in the celery, red pepper, parsley, and garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes. Add in the curry powder, cumin, cayenne, and salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
2. Puree the chickpeas in a food processor or blender, adding a little water if necessary. Pulse until you have a coarse puree. Add the chickpeas to a bowl. Add in the vegetable mixture and bread crumbs, and mix well. Adjust the seasonings with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
3. Form the mixture into 4 patties. Coat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) with cooking spray, and warm over medium-high heat. Add the patties and brown for about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve the patties (with or without the buns) with mango chutney, tomato, and lettuce leaves.
