I'm very selective about many vegan recipes, especially food - and with patties as well, there are only a few recipes (which I have on the site) that I liked so far, but I don't like many others because of the texture soft and sticky.

Here I was intrigued by the combination of chickpeas and carrots - so I said to do some culinary experiments. And great joy, because I got some wonderful vegan patties, delicious, consistent and I think it would satisfy the tastes of many carnivores.

Ingredients

Metric US

●

Cooked chickpeas

250 g

●

Finely grated peeled carrots

150 g

●

White onion

1 piece

a little

●

Chickpea flour

3 tbsp

●

Tahini

0.5 tsp

or 1 teaspoon ground sesame

●

Garam masala

0.25 tsp

or a mixture of spices: pepper, coriander, cumin, cinnamon - or whatever you have in the pantry

●

Salt

1 tsp

Step by step

Step 1

In a blender / robot put the chickpeas and onions cut into larger pieces.

Step 2

Add the rest of the ingredients - leave aside only the chickpea flour.

Step 3

And blend well, to be a homogeneous paste. Taste the salt, add more if necessary.

Step 4

This is what my bag of chickpea flour looks like.

It is a very good thing, an egg substitute in many vegetarian dishes such as meatballs, pancakes, etc.

Step 5

To the chickpea paste with vegetables add the chickpea flour and mix well with a spoon or even with your hands.

Step 6

Leave for 5 minutes and then check if the composition is good for forming the meatballs.

It must be thicker and non-sticky - if it is too liquid, add 1-2 tablespoons of chickpea flour.

Step 7

Form the meatballs (I recommend making them a little thicker than the ones in the picture) and place them on a non-stick tray or spread with baking paper.
