Drain and place the chickpeas,  basil, onion and sun-dried tomatoes to a food processor. Mix until well processed. Add lemon juice or a bit of water if the mixture is looking too crumbly or dry.

Sample a small bit and adjust spices/salt/herbs as needed. Then cover and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes – 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to become more firm. Remove from refrigerator and divide into 4-6 even patties and gently form into patties using your hands.

To cook, heat a large metal or cast iron skillet over medium/ medium-high heat (or cook on the grill!). Once hot, add enough oil to create a thin layer on the bottom of the pan and wait 1-2 minutes for the oil to heat up. Then place only as many burgers as will fit comfortably in the pan and cook 2-3 minutes on each side. Once the bottom side is evenly browned, flip gently as they can be fragile. Continue until all burgers are cooked.
