Golden "Chicken" Patties
2 15-oz cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained (reserve liquid) 1 1/2 cups uncooked quick cooking oats 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon red pepper vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray
veg gravy, mushroom gravy, cranberry sauce, etc.
In a food processor or blender, process beans with about 1/2 cup of reserved liquid, adding more liquid if necessary, to make a smooth paste. Add garlic, cumin, red pepper, salt & pepper and process to combine well.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine bean paste mixture with oats. Mix well, adding additional bean liquid or oats as necessary to make a mixture that holds together well and keeps its shape.
Shape mixture into 8 patties about 1/2" thick. Heat oil in a skillet or spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Over medium high heat, cook patties until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes.
Serve topped with vegetarian gravy, mushroom gravy, cranberry sauce, or other topping of choice.
OTHER OPTIONS: Serve patties on a bun with "burger" toppings & condiments. Mixture can also be shaped into "nuggets" or "fingers" and fried until golden.
