I have a bowl full of chickpeas soaking on the counter at the moment, and I was looking for recipes to use them up with, when I remembered Charlotte had saved this lovely Chick Pea Patty recipe in the folders for us! I know you all love Charlotte’s past contributions, so I hope you’ll love this one too!
I’ll be making them tomorrow myself, I think!
If you’re not using a Thermomix, as Charlotte does below, mix the ingredients in a food processor till they make a nice pasty mix.

Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1-2 Tbsp ‘flavouring’ (you can choose what to add, Herbs ect.. I used dukkah)
- ½ onion
- 1 Clove garlic
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt & pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or to make it gluten free I used some oats blitzed into flour
- 1 Carrot -grated
- GF flour for rolling in
- A pinch of salt & pepper
Instructions
- Place onion, ‘flavouring” and the chickpeas (which you’ve rinsed and drained) and process for 10 -15 seconds on speed 4.
- Add in egg and breadcrumbs/oats and process 10 seconds on speed 4. Scrape down sides.
- Tip into a large bowl & add grated carrot, salt & pepper
- Your mixture will be soft but if it’s runny then add in some oats or more breadcrumbs. You don’t want a really stiff mixture but firm enough to fry later on. Refrigerate at least ½ hour.
- Tip some flour onto a plate and take a good handful of the mixture and form into a small burger shape, coating it all in the flour. Be generous with the flour
- Now place the burgers on a plate and refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat up a few tablespoons of oil in a frypan and once hot fry your burgers for a few minutes on each side. If they start to burn just turn down the heat.
- Serve with some pitta bread and salad. Or dip into home made ketchup!
