Chickpea & Quinoa Patties

It wasn't until I moved to Australia and couldn't find canned black beans that I found out how beans are actually made - and what a brilliant enlightenment! Use fresh chickpeas for these, make such an outstanding difference! Easy to prepare in advance, I also make several batches and freeze.
