Garbanzo Cakes with Mashed Avocado

August 14, 2018


Ingredients: 

55 g bulgur wheat 
250 ml water
 A Handful of loosely packed parsley leaves 
A Handful of loosely packed mint leaves 
A Handful of loosely packed cilantro leaves 
1 medium clove garlic, roughly chopped 
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
 ½ serrano or jalapeño chili, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped 
450 g of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 
Salt and Pepper 
30 g flour 
60 ml water 
70 g vegan panko-style breadcrumbs 
60 ml olive oil
 ½ avocado
 ½ Tbsp. lime juice 

Directions: 
  1. Bring 250 ml of water to a boil over high heat. Add bulgur wheat and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain carefully. 
  2. While wheat cooks, combine parsley, mint, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño and coriander in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, scraping down sides as necessary, about 10 to 12 short pulses. Add half garbanzo beans and pulse until a rough puree is formed, scraping down sides as necessary, about 8 to 10 short pulses. Transfer to a bowl.
  3.  Add remaining chickpeas to food processor and pulse until roughly chopped, 4 to 6 pulses. Transfer to bowl with chickpea/herb mixture. When bulgur wheat has drained, add to bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then fold mixture together, starting with a rubber spatula, and finishing by hand when cool enough to handle. Form mixture into patties roughly 4-inch/10cm thick and 3 inches/8 cm wide (you should be able to make 2-3 patties)
  4.  Combine flour and water in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Place breadcrumbs in a second bowl. 
  5. Working one patty at a time, dip in flour mixture to coat, then transfer to breadcrumbs. Cover with breadcrumbs on all sides, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining patties. 
  6. Put half of oil in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the patties in a single layer and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown on bottoms, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook second side, swirling pan occasionally as they cook, about 2 minutes longer.
  7.  Place avocado in a small bowl and mash the flesh with a fork. Season with salt and add lime juice. Serve fried chickpea patties with mashed avocado, sliced onions, herbs, and lime or lemon wedges.
