Scale
Meatless Patties
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup of brazil nuts or walnuts
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of cooked brown rice*
- 2 tbs cumin
- 1/2 tbs garlic powder
- 1/2 tbs onion powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- Dash of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbs lemon juice
Breakfast Sandwich Things
- Toasted English muffin
- Sliced Avocado
- Sliced Roma Tomato
- Cheddar
- Homemade Mayo
- Scrambled Eggs (or cook to your preference)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher until all chickpeas are completely mashed.
- Toast the Brazil nuts in a small skillet on medium heat until browned then blend toasted nuts with the spices in a blender or grinder until it resembles "bread crumbs".
- Stir together chickpeas, onion, nut crumb mixture, eggs, and lemon juice until thoroughly combined.
- Chill mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes (this makes it easier to form and cook).
- Form into 6-8 patties and heat a large skillet on medium high heat
- Lightly coat skillet with 1 tbs olive oil and cook chickpea patties on both sides (3 minutes per side)
- While the patties cook, cook eggs how you like in a separate pan and toast the English muffins.
- Assemble sandwiches immediately - when the eggs and patties are at their best! -- patty, egg, tomato, avocado, and arugula!
Notes
*I typically make a big batch of brown rice and keep in the fridge to add to green and grain bowls, sides, and to now make these chickpea patties! I use a rice cooker or to make things really simple you can buy frozen and steam in the microwave - just read those ingredients!
