Chickpea patties

[Pat]

Recently I made a burger pattie out of chickpeas instead of blackbeans. I ground up the chickpeas, added an egg, seasonings and browned it just as I would a blackbean burger. The pattie was good and better when I added spicey brown mustard to it. The chickpea pattie was better to me than the blackbean pattie.

Any one ever make a chickpea pattie?

That sounds great. You inspired me, I'll try it today. What kind of seasonings did you add? Cumin, paprika and garlic might be good, but I guess that would be similar to recreating a hummus like flavor.

Also this sounds like it might taste similar to falafel, minus the deep fry. Great idea!

I have had a commercially produced veggie burger with chickpeas and I really like it. I don't get it often, because I am not big on packaged foods, but it's nice to have in the freezer for days when you need something quick and don't have time to cook. I hadn't considered making my own; I'll have to give that some thought.

I love chickpeas but have never had a chickpea patty. I'm not a big meat eater , so this would probably really be enjoyable for me. Did you use canned chickpeas for your recipe and I'm also curious as to which spices you used?

I often have chickpea patties. I usually include a chopped onion which has been fried in spices before hand. Usually yellow and black mustard seeds, tumeric, asafoetida, ground common and ground coriander and if I want to spices it up a touch some chillie powder. I will also mash the chickpeas up a touch as well. A tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander and some lemon adds another dimension to the patties as well.

Cooking the chickpeas with crushed garlic is also a nice way of adding a little extra taste to them if you use dried chickpeas.

Thanks for all the ideas for chickpea patties. I do like the idea of onion, chili powder and garlic but will definitely experiment with a couple of the other spices you have mentioned.

Chickpea patties sound delicious, I haven't tried making them myself and I have to say it sounds easy enough!
Thanks for the idea and suggestion, I will give it a try and see where it takes me. It will save me from buying ready made patties which I sometimes don't really enjoy much.
