Lynn,

 

I haven't, and don't specifically know how. I'd be glad to if there are some instructions someone could share.

Chickpea Patties

 

 

200 g (7 oz) plain soy yogurt

1 small Lebanese (Mediterranean) cucumber, chopped

8 teaspoons chopped mint

 

300 g sweet potato, peeled, chopped

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus extra, to shallow-fry

1 small white onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/4 cup mild curry paste

two 400 g (14 oz) cans chickpeas, rinsed

salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup dried GF breadcrumbs

8 teaspoons sesame seeds

 

 

1. Combine yogurt, cucumber and mint in a small bowl.

 

2. Using a fork, pierce sweet potato all over. Place in a microwave-safe bowl.

Cover with damp paper towel; microwave on High (100%) for 3 minutes or until

tender.

 

3. Heat oil in a small frying pan over moderate heat. Add onion; cook and stir

for 5 minutes or until soft.

 

4. Add garlic and curry paste; cook and stir for 1 minute or until fragrant.

 

5. Place chickpeas in a food processor; process until chopped. Don't

over-process; they should retain some texture.

 

6. Add onion mixture to chickpeas in food processor and process until combined.

 

7. Turn out into a large bowl and add sweet potato. Using a fork, mash and mix

well. Season with salt and pepper.

 

8. Shape mixture into 8 patties, about 2 cm (3/4 " ) thick.

 

9. Combine breadcrumbs and sesame seeds. Coat patties with crumb mixture. Cover

with plastic food wrap; chill for 15 minutes.

 

10. Heat extra oil in a large frying pan over moderately high heat. Cook patties

for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

 

11. Serve patties with yogurt mixture and a salad.

 

 

Serves 4.
