Recipe: Chickpea "fish" cakes

Chickpea "fish" cakes

By Andrew Jefferies

These patties are good when placed on sandwiches or by themselves as a substitute for fish cakes. They don't really taste the same at all but that was the concept that I started with. Anyways, here goes:

Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 5 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• chickpeas rinsed, drained and mashed -1 Can
• onion minced   -  1/4
• red bell pepper minced   - 1/4
• celery seed - pinch
• curry powder - 1/4 tsp
• Eggs - 2
• mayonnaise - 1 tbsp
• Olive oil - as needed for frying

Mix all ingredients together well. Make into patties. Heat oil in pan and fry until golden. It only takes a couple of minutes per side.

I used my patties in a baked sandwich with avocado, thin sliced apple, lots of jalapeño,Havarti cheese and honey mustard. Very tasty.
