Skinny Bitch Curried Chickpea Patties

I have a love/hate relationship with the Skinny Bitch vegan book series.  I think it starts with the word skinny, something which I will never ever feel that I am, nor that I necessarily desire to be frankly…Thinner Bitch I will strive for I guess then.  At any rate, I present to you, a reason I’ll never be skinny….Curried Chickpea Cakes via Skinny Bitch Kim Barnouin’s Ultimate Everyday Cookbook.

Curried Chickpea Cakes
Makes 10 Servings

• 1 (15-ounce/430 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup (20 g) sliced green onions, both white and light green parts
• 1/3 cup (75 ml) light coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons evaporated cane sugar
• 2/3 cup (75 g) breadcrumbs, plus 1/4 cup (30 g) for coating
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 2/3 cup (130 g) brown rice, cooked
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) grapeseed oil or toasted sesame oil, for pan searing

1. In a large food processor, combine the chickpeas and green onions. Pulse until combined. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk, sugar, 2/3 cup (75 g) of the breadcrumbs, curry powder, nutmeg, and cumin. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well combined.
2. Stir in the brown rice and the salt.
3. Mold into 10 mini patties.
4. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat (make sure it is preheated well in advance, so you get a nice crust). Add the chickpea cakes to the pan and sauté until there’s a nice golden sear on the bottom. Flip and sear the other side as well. Continue with the remaining cakes.
5. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
