Savory Garbanzo Patties

Total Time: 18 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 stalks celery, minced
• 2 scallions, minced
• 1 1/2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 1/2 cups cooked basmati rice
• 1 -2 hot green chili pepper
• 2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1 -2 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• vegetable broth, as needed
• oil, for frying

Recipe

• 1 first take a large bowl and mash garbanzo beans and rice together thoroughly.
• 2 add the rest of the ingredients except broth and combine very well.
• 3 if the mixture is too dry to form patties, add a bit of broth to moisten it, but not too much.
• 4 form small patties (size really doesnt matter too much).
• 5 heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat with a small amount of oil (vegetable oil, or any other oil you choose) and add patties, cooking them until golden brown on each side.
• 6 do not allow them to get too dark, because they will get too crunchy on the outside if you cook them too long.
• 7 we like to eat these with a bit of lime-chile chutney on the side, and sometimes we'll even eat them with a bit of ketchup!
• 8 haha.
• 9 enjoy!
