Chickpea patties

Steps

• 

  1. Prepare everything you need.
• 

  2. Soak the chickpeas in cold water for 12 hours, until they are swollen.
• 

  3. In a stock pot boil 50 oz of water, and then add the pre-soaked chickpeas. When the water reaches the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, leaving the lid ajar.
  To test for doneness, roll a pea between your fingers. If it crushes easily, you can drain off the rest of the water.

  Serve hot with sauces. They are good with mayo and ketchup.
