Legume patties
Chickpeas and vegetables
Ingredients:
- 200 g dried chickpeas
- 50 g courgettes (or spinach or other vegetables)
- 1 potato
- 1 egg
- Breadcrumbs
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Procedure:
- Preparing the chickpeas: Soak the dried chickpeas in a bowl full of water the night before. The next day, boil them in boiling salted water for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can use pre-cooked chickpeas in a glass jar to skip the soaking step.
- Cooking the potato: Boil the previously cleaned and peeled potato in salted water until tender.
- Preparing courgettes: Wash and dice the courgettes. Steam them in a pan with a little water and a drizzle of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain and allow to cool.
- Creation of the compound: In a bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the courgettes and boiled potato and mix until thickened. Add the chickpeas and blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Forming patties: With the mixture, create meatballs, (or in the shape of crumbs or croquettes). Dip them in breadcrumbs and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Cooking: Bake in a preheated oven at about 180°C for 20 minutes, until the patties are golden brown. Serve them piping hot.
Enjoy your meal!
