Awesome Zucchini-Chickpea Patties


If you like falafel patties, consider this its healthy cousin. I love these in the Fall, my favorite season. These are delicious and so easy to make. This will easily satisfy your vegan and vegetarian friends....better that meat patties by a mile!!!

Ingredients

1-15 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup bread crumbs (I toast a slice of Ezekiel bread and chop it into small pieces)
1 zucchini, grated
1 small red onion, grated
1 organic egg,lightly whisked
1 tsp. Sea salt
1/4 cup extra virgin organic olive oil
8 Ezekiel hamburger buns
1 cup plain organic yogurt
8 leaves of organic romaine lettuce
1 cup fresh mint leaves

Directions

1.In a bowl, mash chickpeas.
2.Stir in the next 5 ingredients.
3.Form into 8 patties.
4.Saute patties in oil, until golden and crisp (3 to 5 minutes per side).
5.Place cooked patties on each bun, top with yogurt, lettuce and mint.

This is such a nice change from regular burgers....I especially like topping it off with guacamole or hummus.....so good!!!

Enjoy!!!
