Chickpea Patties
I am a life long vegetarian so throughout my entire life I’ve had to respond to the shock I get when I say I don’t eat meat. After blank stares and awkward silence I always hear the question, “Do you eat fish?”
No, I don’t eat fish.
To give people a better description of a vegetarian diet I say, “If it had eyeballs or a mother, I don’t eat it!”
These Easy Chickpea Patties are a great Friday night ‘fish fry’ substitution. Chickpeas are so good for you, so if you have to sneak them in then this is a perfect recipe to do that with! I love having them with Chipotle Aioli and Aldi’s Sweet Kale Salad. The kick of the aioli and the sweet dressing of the salad compliment each other so nicely!
