Instructions
- Prep Chickpeas: Rinse and drain chickpeas. In a bowl, mash them until fairly smooth.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until golden.

- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each into a burger patty.
- Cook Patties: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil, place patties, and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
- Prepare Mango Chutney: In a small saucepan, combine diced mango, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes until thickened.
- Assemble Burgers: Toast whole grain burger buns. Spread a layer of mango chutney on the bottom bun, place a chickpea patty, add a slice of fresh tomato and a few spinach leaves. Top with the other half of the bun.
