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! Notes:
