Ingredients
1 medium onion, diced
30 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup cilantro, chopped finely
2 tbsp brown rice flour
1 clove garlic, minced
1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds mixed with 4 tbsp warm water)
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Sauté your onions in a few tablespoons of water until translucent, remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a food processor blitz your chickpeas until broken down.
- Add in your coriander, sautéed onions, spices, chia egg and flour and blitz for a further few minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Spoon out your mixture and mold into small round patties with your hands and place on a plate ready for frying .
- Continue this process until you have used up all your mixture.
- Heat a large non stick frying pan (or use a small amount of coconut oil if your pan tends to stick). Over a medium heat, cook up 4 patties at a time.
- Once all your patties are cooked serve up and enjoy.
Notes
- Each side should take approximately 4 minutes to cook through and become golden, but it’s best to check their progress every few minutes. If the patties are browning too quickly, turn down the heat.
- If you don’t plan on eating all your patties in one sitting, you can store these in the fridge until required, or even freeze them for a longer shelf life.
- This patty recipe also works great as a vegan alternative to a hamburger. Try make these at your next BBQ for a healthier alternative.
