If you’re after a protein to accompany your vegan meal or perhaps a quick snack that’s nourishing yet still satisfying then these patties have you covered. Super quick to throw together, with only a food processor needed and a few minutes in the frying pan, they’re great for those nights you just don’t feel like cooking. And for all those coeliacs out there – they’re also Gluten Free!
Makes 10 small patties
What you’ll need:
1 onion – diced
2 cans Organic Chickpeas – drained and rinsed
1 cup coriander – chopped finely (or change it up with half a red chilli)
1 clove garlic – minced
2 tbsp brown rice flour
1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds mixed with 4 tbsp warm water)
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
Sauté your onions in a few tablespoons of water until translucent, remove from the heat and set aside.
In a food processor blitz your chickpeas until broken down
Add in your coriander, sautéed onions, spices, chia egg and flour and blitz for a further few minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Spoon out your mixture and mould into small round patties with your hands and place on a plate ready for frying
Continue this process until you have used up all your mixture.
Heat a large non stick frying pan (or use a small amount of coconut oil if your pan tends to stick). Over a medium heat cook up 4 patties at a time.
Each side should take approximately 4 minutes to cook through and become golden, but it’s best to check their progress every few minutes. If the patties are browning too quickly, turn down the heat.
Once all your patties are cooked serve up with a drizzle of tahini, lemon juice and a side salad.
If you don’t plan on eating all your patties in one sitting, you can store these in the fridge until required, or even freeze them for a longer shelf life
