Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpeas (canned or cooked)
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 0.75 cup oats (rolled or quick-cooking)
• 1 small onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned. Mash them in a large bowl until mostly smooth, with a few chunks for texture.

Step 2

Finely chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes until translucent. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until the mushrooms are softened and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 more minutes.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the oats into a coarse flour. Add the oats to the mashed chickpeas along with the cooked vegetable mixture, soy sauce, egg, paprika, sage, thyme, black pepper, and salt.

Step 4

Mix until all ingredients are well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats or breadcrumbs until you reach a consistency that can hold together when formed into patties.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.

Step 6

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your vegetarian sausage patties as part of a breakfast platter or in a delicious sandwich.
