Chickpea Patties

I am a life long vegetarian so throughout my entire life I’ve had to respond to the shock I get when I say I don’t eat meat. After blank stares and awkward silence I always hear the question, “Do you eat fish?”

No, I don’t eat fish.

To give people a better description of a vegetarian diet I say, “If it had eyeballs or a mother, I don’t eat it!”

These Easy Chickpea Patties are a great Friday night ‘fish fry’ substitution. Chickpeas are so good for you, so if you have to sneak them in then this is a perfect recipe to do that with! I love having them with Chipotle Aioli and Aldi’s Sweet Kale Salad. The kick of the aioli and the sweet dressing of the salad compliment each other so nicely!

How to Make Chickpea Patties

Crumble 1 sleeve of saltine crackers and pour into a bowl.

Drain 2 (16 oz) cans of chickpeas and finely chop. (Or, you can pulse in a food processor.) Combine with saltine crackers and set aside.

Finely chop 1 onion and 3/4 cup celery.

Mince 1 garlic clove.

Combine finely chopped onion and celery and minced garlic into a sauce pan. Add a little butter to the sauce pan and saute.

Once sauteed, pour into the bowl with cracker mixture. Mix until well combined.

Add 5 eggs and 1 tsp salt. Mix until well combined.

Form into patties.

Pour enough oil into sauce pan to cover the bottom of the pan and bring to medium heat.

Place patties into oil to fry, patting down with back of a spoon.

The patties are done when golden brown, frying for about 2 minutes on each side.
