Serves 6

Ingredients

 

Chickpea patties

1 1/2 cups chickpea (garbanzo) flour

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Spicy lemon mayo

1 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Finely shredded zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Carrot slaw

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 cups shredded carrots (2/3 lb.)

1 cup shredded radishes

Cooking and assembly

6 ciabatta or pane francese rolls (3 oz. each)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

About 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

4 ounces salad mix (5 cups lightly packed)

 

Preparation

 

1. Make chickpea patties: In a 3- to 4-qt. pan, mix chickpea flour and dry

seasonings. Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups water until smooth. Cook over

medium

heat, whisking often, until mixture begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.

Switch to a spoon and stir until mixture pulls away from pan bottom and

mounds in

center of pan, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in parsley. Using an oiled spoon or

fingers, evenly spread mixture in an oiled 9- by 13-in. pan. Let cool.

 

2. Make mayo: Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Chill, covered.

 

3. Make slaw: Whisk together vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium

bowl, then gently stir in carrots and radishes.

 

4. Now for the sandwiches! Preheat broiler and set a rack 4 in. from heat.

Split rolls, leaving one side attached, and open up. Place rolls cut side up

in a large rimmed baking pan; lightly brush tops with 1 tbsp. olive oil.

Broil until golden, about 1 minute. Tip onto counter and drape with foil.

 

5. Oil the baking pan. Brush chickpea mixture with 1 tbsp. olive oil;

sprinkle with salt. Cut into 12 rectangles and set slightly apart in oiled

pan. Broil

until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn patties over and broil until golden on

second side, about 2 minutes.

 

6. To assemble, generously spread mayo on cut sides of rolls. Place some

salad greens on one side of each roll and top with some carrot slaw, then 2

chickpea

patties.
