Ingredients
- 425 grams Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 120 grams Cooked quinoa
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Combine the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. This mixture will act as a binding agent similar to an egg.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, cooked quinoa, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, lemon juice, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the flaxseed mixture to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 patties, depending on your preferred size.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the patties to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Serve the chickpea patties warm with your choice of toppings and sides, such as a fresh salad, in a wrap, or on a bun.
