Vegan since 1975, I decide to answer the question, "What DO you eat?" These posts tell about some meals and recipes my family and I have enjoyed over the years.

Chick Pea Patties

If you need something to serve on a bun, CHICK PEA PATTIES might be something you could make at home and then not have to go to the store to buy commercially made vegan burgers. I also like them just on a plate with tomato sauce, or even just by themselves as a little snack.

I made some last night, and they are all gone this morning, so somebody must have liked them, because I only ate two, and there were seven to begin with.

Patties
(2) 15 ounce cans--chick peas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 cup--whole wheat pastry flour (or another kind of flour)
1/4 cup--nutritional yeast
1 Tablespoon each--wet mustard, olive oil, water
1/2 teaspoon each--tamari and onion powder
1/4 teaspoon--dried oregano
sprinkles of--red pepper and turmeric
1/4 teaspoon--olive oil for frying
additional seasonings if desired

Open and drain two fifteen ounce cans of chick peas (garbanzo beans), and mash them up in a mixing bowl. I used a potato masher, but if you keep at it a while, a fork would do.

Add a half cup of whole wheat flour. I used pastry flour, but it doesn't really make a whole lot of difference. In fact, if you are gluten free, you could use some other kind of flour, such as potato starch or rice flour.
