Curried Chickpea Cakes

I'm sad to see my week long posts on soup come to an end...I know you are too, but don't worry, I still have a couple soup recipes I want to make and share with you next week. Usually I don't eat anything with my soup, but these chickpea cakes are perfect to pair with soup...or just eat on their own with a side of sauteed veggies.

Ingredients:
recipe from "Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Recipe Cookbook"
Oil for pan searing (I used grapeseed oil)
1 (15oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3c sliced green onions
1/3 c coconut/almond/or regular milk
2t cane sugar
2/3c breadcrumbs
1t curry powder
1/2t ground nutmeg
1/2t ground cumin
2/3c brown rice, cooked
1/2t salt






Method:
  • In food processor, combine the chickpeas and green onions
  • Transfer to a large mixing bowl
  • Add milk, spices, sugar and breadcrumbs
  • Stir together until combined
  • Stir in brown rice and salt
  • Mold into patties (should form about 10 patties)
  • Heat oil and saute patties until heated through and golden brown
  • Sear on both sides





Serve on a bed of spinach and you have a healthy low-fat meal. I made my patties a little too large so they were still cold in the middle, but all I did to fix that problem was throw them in the oven on 350 degrees (I threw the spinach in with it) and cooked them for about 8 minutes, and they came out perfect!
