Cook:45min

Skillet-browned chickpea patties are smothered in sautéed onions and bell peppers, topped with peppery arugula, and served open-faced on toasted hamburger bun halves that have been slathered in roasted red pepper hummus for a Mediterranean-inspired vegan burger. For make-ahead ease, the onions and bell peppers can be sautéed up to three days beforehand, then reheated, and the patties can be prepared and shaped the day before, then sautéed just before serving. You can also try making the burgers with other types of beans and breadcrumbs, depending on your preference and what you have on hand. Serve with Israeli Couscous and Kale Salad.
