5Zesty Lemon Feta Chickpea Patties
These vibrant patties are bursting with fresh lemon and salty feta, making for a delightful and healthy meal.
How to make it
- 1
Drain and rinse your can of chickpeas really well, then place them in a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them until they are mostly smooth, but a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- 2
Add the roughly chopped fresh spinach, the zest and juice from your large lemon, the panko breadcrumbs, and the crumbled feta cheese to the mashed chickpeas.
- 3
Mix everything together thoroughly. It might seem a little loose at first, but it will come together. If it feels too wet, you can add a tiny bit more breadcrumbs, but usually, it is just right. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 4
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and gently shape each into a flat patty, about one inch thick. Do not worry if they are not perfectly uniform.
- 5
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until they are beautifully golden brown and heated through. Serve warm and enjoy!
