Chickpea veggie patties are a delicious and nutritious option for anyone looking to add more plant-based meals to their diet. These patties are packed with protein from chickpeas and flavored with fresh herbs and spices, making them not only healthy but also irresistibly tasty. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, these patties can be enjoyed on their own, in a sandwich, or as part of a salad.
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the carrot.
- Measure out the peas.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, garlic cloves, fresh coriander leaves, and fresh parsley. Blend until you achieve a coarse mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot and peas.
- Add the blended chickpea mixture to the bowl.
- Sprinkle in the dried coriander, paprika, and ground cumin.
- Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the egg yolk to the bowl. Mix until the yolk is fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the bread crumbs to the mixture, mixing until the consistency is firm enough to form patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
- With clean hands, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty about the size of your palm.
- Repeat until you've used up all the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet.
- Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the chickpea veggie patties with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty taste.
Tips:
- Ensure that the chickpeas are well-drained and slightly mashed for better texture and binding.
- Grate the carrot finely to ensure even distribution and better binding within the patties.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes before forming patties to help them hold their shape during cooking.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Cook the patties on medium heat to ensure they cook through evenly without burning the outside.
- Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor and freshness.
