Onto the cooking. I know what you’re thinking. Another recipe with mint?
Yes. My one and only “child” is my new mint plant and I’m taking full advantage of it before I kill it. Minted everything. Somebody come over with some rum so we can make mojitos!
Chickpea Zucchini Patties with Minted Yogurt Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 (15.5-oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 small zucchini, grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 3 tbsp. fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Directions
-
For the patties: In a food processor, pulse chickpeas until very finely chopped. Place in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in panko crumbs, zucchini, onion, egg whites, and salt. Form into eight separate patties.
-
Warm a pan that has been coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Sauté patties until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
-
For the sauce: In a small bowl, stir Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and mint until well mixed.
-
Serve patties warm. Top with yogurt sauce.
Calling all vegetarians! This recipe is for youuuuuuu. And when those crazies ask you if you’re getting protein, show them the stats on chickpeas and Greek yogurt. Bam.
I hope my CSA gives me more zucchini because I could eat this over and over. Joe came over for dinner and he called them my “love tarts.” That made me chuckle.
MAKE THESE!
