This is a really simple recipe for a chickpea patty. It's incredibly easy, vegan, and there are 100 different variations you can try. I almost always prefer to have my protein via bean or lentil dishes, but having a little protein patty is always a nice change.
The main things you need are: chickpeas, spices, flour (not shown), &bread crumbs (not shown). You an choose what extra veggies you add or don't add from there. I always add onion and garlic. I added mushrooms, spring onion, and carrot in an attempt to clean out my fridge a bit before vacation. It's really hard to go wrong with veggie choices: you can also add: peas, carrots, potatoes, peppers, whatever as long as there isn't too much moisture and you can bind and hold the patty together.
Shred carrots. Combine onion, garlic, and mushrooms in my food processor, but you can just as easily do all this by hand too.
Chop/grind chickpeas. (you can mash them by hand too)
Add herbs and spices. Generous amounts of: salt, pepper, fresh herbs (I used: basil, oregano, and thyme). Spices will depend on what you are pairing your patty with. I used: cumin, chili, paprika, and garam-masala. You can do this with Indian spices or more Italian as well.
Combine all ingredients.
Add bread crumbs and flour and combine. Amounts will vary depending on the veggies you added. I added 3 tablespoons of flour and 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs.
Form patties.
What works best for me is to saute in generous amounts of oil over a med high heat until crisp and browned on each side. Then bake in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees. I'm sure you could just fry in more oil or exclusively bake if you prefer. Just be gentle! Don't toss it around so much and make it fall apart!
Top with gravy or toss on a bun with some fixings and enjoy.
(yes that is purple coleslaw. nom nom nom)
This is also great to individually wrap and refrigerate/freeze until a later date:

Ooh yes. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! I've never even made a regular burger patty before so this is a really great jumping off point for my own veg*n creations. I've GOT to make these, they look great!
ReplyDeletemmm, I love making lentil burgers- I am going to try this <3 you're awesome for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! Love my bean burgers. Make them often with all different beans and combos. I often add oats to mine. Love my purple slaw. I make mine without mayo...just rice vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. The best! Keep the recipes coming, please! Thank you for sharing with us! xo
ReplyDeletethat sounds so good. i'll definitely try it. so many of the homemade bean burgers require egg so this is quite refreshing.
ReplyDeleteGreat receipt. Definitely saving it and making it soon. With spring here and summer approaching, I see a BBQ in the future and I'd love to try these while everyone is eating their burgers. Yum!

ReplyDeleteI'm gonna make these. I didn't know they were freezer-friendly! Mmm..
ReplyDeletei used your recipe with kidney beans and subbed in quinoa flour and gluten free cracker crumbs... they were great! i'm so happy because i can't find ANY soy free veggie burgers at the grocery stores. i realized i needed to start making my own. this is a great and easy way to use what you have on hand. i have tons of leftovers too, which is...well...awesome.
