Chickpea and Lentil Veggie Patties

I make these at least once a week (& did so even before I was veg). They are definitely one of my favourite staples! Serve them on a burger, or with salad and chips, yum.

Ingredients

• 1 400g Can chickpeas, drained
• 1 400g Can lentils, drained and rinsed
• 1 Egg
• 1 Brown onion, finely diced
• 2 Cloves garlic, or 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 Tsp Curry powder (I use Clive of India)
• 1 Tbs Moroccan seasoning 
• 1/2 Tsp Organic 'all purpose seasoning'
• 3/4 Cup breadcrumbs (the Macro gluten free crumbs are my favourite)
• 1 Tbs Chia seeds (I use a mix of both black and white)
• Olive Oil
• 'Veggie Salt' and pepper to taste

Method

• Place drained chickpeas and egg in a food processor and blend until a smooth paste has formed - transfer to a large bowl.
• Add in onion, lentils, breadcrumbs, chia, curry powder, all purpose & Moroccan seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Roll handfulls of mixture into patties
• Fry the veggie patties in olive oil in a large frying pan over a moderate heat for 5 minutes each side, until crispy. Drain on kitchen paper.
• Serve with a salad (& chips) or on a burger with avocado, alfalfa, cheese, tomato, beetroot, lettuce and sweet chilli sauce - yum!
