Baked Chick Pea Pattys

Paula2006's Note:

So good! Even my non vegan hubby loves them. I serve them on a bun with mustard, a tomato slice and and a lettuce leaf. Sometimes I make a dip with soy yogurt, cucumbers, and fresh dip without a bun. This could be made with a food processor but I prefer to make it by hand. An ancient sage claims people who consume food grown and made with love, grow love in their hearts

• Total Time: 33 mins
• Prep Time: 12 mins
• Cook Time: 21 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 6.0 patties

• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 cup carrot
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup parsley
• 2 cups dry breadcrumbs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil or canola oil.
3. Add 2 tablespoon water to onion and microwave on high until soft ( 30 seconds in my microwave). Drain any remaining water off onion.
4. Finely dice fresh carrot.
5. Finely dice fresh parsley removing all stems.
6. Mix all ingredients with mixer or in food processor until you can form a hamburger like patty. If you need to add more bread crumbs (this usually means you mixed or processed it too long).
7. Form into six to eight patties.
8. Lightly spray each patty until on both sides with olive or canola spray and place on cookie sheet.
9. Flip patties after twelve minutes. Bake on opposite side nine minutes. I like mine to be lightly brown and crisp.

These were really tasty! I halved this and made per the recipe except I forgot to microwave the onion. I figured that probably would have added a little extra moisture so I just added a little water to the mix which really helped them stick together. I served on a bun with lettuce, a slice of mozzarella, and Sandy's Easy Greek Yogurt Sauce. Thanks for sharing!

Made last Thursday as a side with marinaded Tilapia and steak fries. Sorry we used it as a side, but we're not vegan and I didn't think my husband would go for it as a main course. I did add some Italian seasoning also. The patties held together very well. Usually when I make bean patties they fall apart while flipping. The taste was good and the appearance was more "hamburger like" than I expected. Since we had them as a side, we just topped with some steak sauce. They were a bit dry, so I would suggest topping with some sort of condiment. Made for Fall PAC 2012

Yum yum! I couldn't resist throwing some cumin in though! On a homemade whole wheat bun, with lettuce and tomato, a dash of Braggs Liquid Aminos, who could ask for a more delicious and healthy lunch? Thanks for posting, Paula! Made for Fall PAC 2012
