Chickpea Patties With Mango Chutney

Author Robyn webb says, "My chickpea patties first made their appearance in the pages of Diabetes Forecast magazine. We received so many compliments about this recipe that I want to share it again. Similar in flavor to falafel, but with an Indian flair, these can be prepared, placed on a plate, covered, and refrigerated hours before you plan to cook them."

Directions

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add in the celery, red pepper, parsley, and garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes. Add in the curry powder, cumin, cayenne, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper, if desired, and remove from the heat.
-
Puree the chickpeas in a food processor or blender, adding a little water, if necessary. Pulse until you have a coarse puree. Add the chickpeas to a bowl. Add in the vegetable mixture, egg, and breadcrumbs and mix well. Adjust the seasonings with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
-
Form the mixture into four patties. Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Add the patties and brown on both sides for about 5-6 minutes per side. Add the patties to toasted whole-grain buns and top with tomato, lettuce leaves, and mango chutney, if desired.
