Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Some texture can remain for added bite.
Add the grated carrot, chopped red onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs gradually, mixing until the mixture holds together well without being too dry. You may not need to use all the breadcrumbs.
Shape the mixture into patties, making each about ½ inch thick. You should get about 8 patties from this mixture.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Cook the patties in batches if necessary, for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, with a side salad or in a whole-grain bun as a burger.
