Ingredients

• 425 grams Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 120 grams Cooked quinoa
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Combine the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. This mixture will act as a binding agent similar to an egg.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, cooked quinoa, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, lemon juice, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the flaxseed mixture to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 patties, depending on your preferred size.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the patties to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Serve the chickpea patties warm with your choice of toppings and sides, such as a fresh salad, in a wrap, or on a bun.
