After three days of eating work provided meals and indulging at the Scooper Bowl I was craving something clean and fresh. I knew I wanted some vegetables and beans. After a quick stop at Whole Foods I created a simple, clean and fresh meal. It was so good that I ate it both for lunch and dinner. A whole can of chickpeas in one day? No big deal.
Chickpea Patties
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tbls flax-seed
In your Cuisinart combine the above ingredients and chop until the mixture is smoother than it is chunky. Using your hands, form 6 patties. In your favorite non-stick frying pan heat up some extra virgin olive oil and lightly pan sear the patties, about 2 mins each side.
While patties are cooking slice a tomato and avocado. Remove patties from the frying pan and place on your plate. Top with sliced tomato and avocado. I suggest adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil as well as a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper.
These patties make the perfect lunch. Individually they would make great appetizers!
Enjoy
