Gluten-free Chickpea Patties with Cucumber-Feta Salad

Ingredients:
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 cup         chickpeas (salt-free)
  1/4 cup         parsley, fresh
    2             egg white (large)
  1/2 cup         breadcrumbs, gluten-free
    1 clove       garlic
    1 tablespoon  sesame seeds, toasted
  1/4 teaspoon    thyme, dried
1 1/2 teaspoons   paprika
    4 teaspoons   olive oil
  1/2 teaspoon    salt
    1             cucumber
    2 ounces      cheese, feta

Instructions:

	Put 1 tablespoon lemon juice and chickpeas, parsley, eggs, gluten-free
breadcrumbs, garlic, sesame seeds, thyme, paprika, olive oil, and 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.
	 

	Heat a skillet over medium heat and 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.
	 

	While patties cook, dice cucumber and combine it with 1 tablespoon lemon
juice and feta in a small bowl.
	 

	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!
