Chickpea Sliders

This week I volunteered at a "Flexitarian" class at Whole Foods. We made these Chickpea Sliders and they were delicious!

2 teaspoons canola oil, divided

3 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 cup finely diced sweet red or green pepper

1/2 tomato, chopped

1 19-oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley, chopped

8 mini buns

In nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat and cook onions, garlic, oregano and chili powder, stirring for 2 minutes. Add red pepper and tomato. Cook for bout 3 minutes or until pepper is tender and liquid is evaporated.

In food processor, mix pepper mixture with chickpeas; transfer to bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs, parsley/cilantro, salt and pepper (to taste) until well combined. Pressing firmly, shape into 9 portions and pat into 2" rounds. In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook burgers for 4 minutes on each side or until heated through. Serve on buns with chutney or condiments.
