- Blend the chickpeas into a coarse puree (like hummus). Add lemon juice, the sautéed cabbage, a drizzle of oil, and salt.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add one egg and breadcrumbs little by little, mixing with a fork until you get a firm consistency (add more breadcrumbs if too soft).
- Form the burgers: take some mixture, make a ball, then flatten. Use a glass or ring mold for precision.
- Place the burgers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Coat with breadcrumbs on both sides. Drizzle with oil.
