directions
- To make the Chickpea Patties: Place all ingredients except for the olive oil into a food processor and pulse until just combined, stopping frequently to scrape down the sides. Using the palms of your hands, form the mixture into 6 burger patties.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat some of the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties in batches, making sure they don't overcrowd. Add a little more oil with each batch. Allow patties to cook about 4-6 minutes on each side. Once the patties are nicely browned and holding their shape a little better, remove from the heat.
- To make the Sweet 'n' Spicy Sauce: In a blender or Magic Bullet, puree all the ingredients together. It should be a nice thick ketchup consistency, but add a tiny bit more water to loosen if needed. Adjust the salt to taste.
- To serve: Layer the Chickpea patties, Sweet 'n' Spicy Sauce, sliced avocados and some leafy lettuce or fresh cilantro (if desired) on toasted buns.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
