I posted this video on my Instagram stories and you guys went NUTS!
I wasn’t expecting THAT kind of reaction.
But…I LIKE IT!!
When I was going through pre-med studies and doing my anatomy “prosection” course, I was already eating fairly healthy, or at least, learning as much as I could about doing it. (My teenage years were pretty disastrous…truth be told.) I became vegan for a good many years during and after my undergraduate days.
Not strict or militant about it but I wasn’t eating or choosing animal products if the decision were mine to make.
However, I was also exercising a lot and I am anemic. I fell back into eating copious amounts of protein, which I felt was better choice than eating a lot of carbs in the form of starches (okay, bread…vegan bread but still).
Back ‘n forth, back ‘n forth times a few decades and I still find myself leaning heavily into the vegan and vegetarian realm – or “plant-based”, as it’s now referred to.
It more sustainable, it’s cheaper and it’s EASIER to cook/clean/make/eat. Done.
I am ALL about easy.
CHICKPEA POTATO PATTIES – (vegan, easy, healthy)
Ingredients:
- I can of chickpeas
- 0.75 – 1 lb of small potatoes (organic), I used fingerling
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (raw),
- avocado oil (or grapeseed),
- 1/2 C of water (approximately),
- Salt/pepper/parsley or cilantro…
Boil or bake potatoes as you normally would. Cube and set aside. Process (in blender or similar) the chickpeas, garlic and seasoning (<- add more than you think you would), then add most of the potatoes and process further. Add water. When nearly done, think “meal-y” and not smooth, add the remaining potatoes and 1-2 TB of avocado oil (or grapeseed or coconut…NOT olive) to the mix for about 10-15 secs.
Spoon out and place on frying pan. Pat down to form more of a flat cake. Brown each side for about 2-4mins.
Done!
ALL ingredients are organic!
Options: Add quinoa, corn or rice to the patties to make them more FIRM. Use these as the “meat” in a “burger”. Use a side dish. Smear with avocado or guacamole.
What else can YOU think of to eat these with or how??!?
Peace, Love & Health
