I like to rinse & drain canned chick peas. Add some salsa, chopped red onion & celery. Eat w/ pita pockets, pita chips or baked tortilla chips.
I've seen recipes for veggie burgers made w/ chick peas.
Chickpea Burgers & Tahini Sauce
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
Chickpea burgers
1 19-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
1 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 6 ½-inch whole-wheat pitas, halved and warmed, if desired
Tahini sauce
½ cup low-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini (see Ingredient note)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. To prepare burgers: Place chickpeas, scallions, egg, flour, oregano, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until a coarse mixture forms that holds together when pressed. (The mixture will be moist.) Form into 4 patties.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until golden and beginning to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes more.
3. To prepare sauce & serve: Meanwhile, combine yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Divide the patties among the pitas and serve with the sauce.
Tips
Cover and refrigerate the uncooked burger mixture and tahini sauce for up to 2 days.
Ingredient note: Tahini is a smooth, thick paste made from ground sesame seeds and commonly used in Middle Eastern foods. Look for it in the Middle Eastern section or near other nut butters in large supermarkets.
