Recipe Preparation Time:

Recipe Cook Time:

Recipe Ingredient Details:
2 tablespoons lemon juice (divided)
1 15-ounce can salt-free chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup gluten-free bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium cucumber
2 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
Recipe Instructions:
Put 1 tablespoon lemon juice and next nine ingredients (chickpeas through salt) in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, but not puréed. Form chickpea mixture into three 3/4-inch-thick patties, pressing firmly to compress so they don’t crumble.
Heat a skillet over medium heat; then add olive oil. Cook patties 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 4–5 more minutes, until a sharp knife inserted into a patty’s center feels hot to the touch.
While patties cook, dice cucumber. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, cucumber, and feta in a small bowl.
Remove cooked patties to serving plates. Top with cucumber-feta salad and serve immediately.
