Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Hot vegetable broth
- 1 cup Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Begin by rehydrating the textured vegetable protein (TVP) by placing it in a bowl and pouring hot vegetable broth over it. Stir well and let it soak for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas and pulse until they form a coarse paste, ensuring some texture is retained.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hydrated TVP, chickpea paste, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add in the soy sauce, breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, beaten egg, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika to the mixture.
Thoroughly mix the ingredients using your hands or a wooden spoon until everything is well incorporated and the mixture holds together.
Divide the mixture into patty-sized portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the patties into the hot oil. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the savory patties warm with your choice of sides or on a bun with your favorite toppings.
