Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 120 grams Cooked quinoa
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Combine the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. This mixture will act as a binding agent similar to an egg.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, cooked quinoa, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, lemon juice, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the flaxseed mixture to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 patties, depending on your preferred size.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the patties to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Serve the chickpea patties warm with your choice of toppings and sides, such as a fresh salad, in a wrap, or on a bun.
