Crispy Spiced Chickpea Burger

Cook rice according to instructions. Using a food processor or high speed blender, pulse cashews until powder remains. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mash chickpeas until they are mostly soft, but some texture remains (about 3/4 of the way mashed). Add cashews to chickpeas, along with flaxseed meal, chopped garlic, and olive oil. Mix to incorporate. Add paprika, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, and salt + pepper. Season to taste. Now, oil your hands with olive oil and form into patties. Coat each patty in panko bread crumbs (or chickpea crumbs). Makes about 6-8 patties depending on desired size. Air fry for 18 minutes, or bake for 20 minutes on 350 degrees, or pan fry in olive oil.
