Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 ounces chickpea flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or gluten-free panko (unseasoned to make vegan))
  • 6 cups arugula baby
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved, or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup chickpeas drained, canned
  • 1 lemon (sliced into wedges)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/3 cup water in a large bowl with chickpea flour, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
  2. Mix well with a spatula, it should hold together well to form a ball and be only slightly sticky. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
  3. Flour your hands and roll it into a ball. Divide the mixture in 4 portions and form 4 balls.
  4. Put breadcrumbs into a large shallow bowl, place a ball on top and press with your fingers adding some crumbs on top so your fingers don’t stick to form a thin cutlet about 1/4 inch thin. Flip to cover both sides with breadcrumbs.
  5. Repeat with the remaining balls.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the cutlets on both sides for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden.
  7. Divide 1 1/2 cups arugula on each plate with 1/4 cup each of tomatoes and chickpeas seasoned with salt and pepper and serve over the cutlets, with plenty of lemon for squeezing.

Notes

  • *3 tbsp leftover breadcrumbs get thrown out
