Precooking tips

To prepare the chickpeas, soak overnight for at least 8 hours in salted room temperature water, and rinse before use. Pressure cook for about 12 – 15 minutes or boil on the stove for about 30 – 40 minutes.

The above recipe is child friendly, for some heat add 1 teaspoon paprika & ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to the mixture.

For meal prep, you can double/triple the quantity and freeze the mixture before shaping it into patties. Allow to come to room temperature and shape (as per above) if freezing.
