Ingredients you will need
Ingredient Notes, Substitutes, & Alternatives
- Chickpeas: Although this recipe is for chickpea patties you do not have to use garbanzo beans, white beans such as cannellini or butter beans will also work. I used canned chickpeas but you could use dried chickpeas which have been soaked overnight.
- Lemon juice: This can be substituted for lime juice or a little apple cider vinegar.
- Mint: This can be substituted for other soft green fresh herbs such as fresh parsley cilantro/coriander. If you use other herbs the flavor will be quite different.
- Bread crumbs: These can be substituted for rolled oats, oat flour or gluten-free bread crumbs.

My son has recently turned pescatarian so I’ve been looking for recipes we can eat as a family. I made these tonight and they were a hit, even with my meat loving husband. He had his burger with bacon and said he really enjoyed it. I doubled the recipe so I have some to freeze. Thanks for a super tasty and easy recipe.
