Gluten-free Chickpea Patties with Cucumber-Feta Salad

Ingredients:
    2 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 can        chickpeas (salt-free)
  1/4 cup        parsley
    2 unit       egg, white (large)
  1/3 cup        bread crumbs, gluten-free
    2 clove      garlic
    1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  1/4 teaspoon   thyme, dried
1 1/2 teaspoon   paprika
    4 teaspoon   olive oil
    1 unit       cucumber
    2 ounce      cheese, feta

Instructions:
1. Put 1 tablespoon lemon juice and next nine ingredients (chickpeas
through salt) in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, but not
puréed. Form chickpea mixture into three ¾-inch-thick patties, pressing
firmly to compress so they don’t crumble.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat; then add olive oil. Cook patties 5
minutes. Flip and cook for 4–5 more minutes, until a sharp knife inserted
into a patty’s center feels hot to the touch.
3. While patties cook, dice cucumber and combine it with 1 tablespoon lemon
juice and feta in a small bowl.
4. Remove cooked patties to serving plates. Top with cucumber-feta salad
and serve immediately.


Description:
An alternative to veggie burgers, these patties are high in protein. The cucumber salad complements the patties quite nicely!
