Chickpea Burgers

I made this recipe up and it's delicious. Lemon is the key ingredient here, so don't skimp on it. Feel free to add herbs or other ingredients to add accents, but this plain version is quite delectable, and Isabella eats it up!


2.5 cups chickpeas (or 2 cans)
1 egg
1/4 cup whole wheat flour or breadcrumbs, plus more for dredging
2 TBSP cornmeal (optional)
Juice of 1 lemon (or more, as desired), plus lemon wedges for serving
3 TBSP vegetable oil, more as needed
Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine ingredients in food processor. Add olive oil or flour as needed to make a pasty consistency.

Refrigerate mixture for 15 mins.

Heat oil in a skittle or pan on medium high. Put a heap of flour on a plate and mix in cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Form chickpea paste into patties, dredge in flour mixture and shake off excess. Fry the patties until golden brown on each side, 5-8 mins. Add more oil between batches.

Serve w/ lemon wedges and yogurt for dipping into.
