Chickpea Patties
Report
Vegetarian Chickpea Patties with Broccoli and Potatoes, scrumptiously golden, and so addictive. Great as an appetizer, and one of those healthy snack recipes kids love. Why not have one in between meals, or take some on a picnic. They are so easy to make, you'll never buy ready-made patties again.

Instructions
- Drain the chickpea liquid, rinse with water and remove the skin off the chickpeas.
- Peel and dice the potatoes and boil in salted water until tender.
- Drain the water and mash them together with the chickpeas until you get a smooth consistency. Set aside to cool.
- Cut the leek and sauté it in one tablespoon of oil until tender, then add the broccoli florets chopped finely and stir for a minute.
- Pour half a cup of water and let it simmer until evaporated and the leeks and broccoli are soft.
- Mix the leeks and broccoli with the potatoes and chickpeas, season well with salt and pepper, add the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley and egg and mix well to combine.
- Moist your hands and shape patties, then coat them in flour and arrange on a plate. Cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for one hour to firm up.
- Heat up the oil in a frying pan, and fry the patties on both sides untll golden. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
- When you add egg to the mashed mixture, this tends to becomes pretty soft, that is why it is advisable to chill the patties in the fridge for at least one hour before frying them.
- Otherwise they won't keep their shape while frying. A GOOD TIP when you shape the patties is to moist your hands, in this way the mixture won't stick to your hands, and you get nicely-shaped patties.
- I would not deep fry them, just shallow frying should do, just get the oil very hot beforehand. Once ready, transfer the patties to a plate lined with kitchen paper so that they excess oil can be absorbed. And that's it, really, your chickpea patties recipe to get everyone talking about!
