Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats, divided

  • ¾ cup bread crumbs, divided

  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil

  • 2 (6 ounce) cans crab meat, drained

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon celery seed

  • 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce heart, shredded

Directions

  1. Blend chickpeas together in a food processor or blender until they turn into a paste; transfer to a bowl. Mix onion, 1/4 cup parsley, eggs, salt, black pepper, and thyme into chickpeas paste. Add 1/2 of the oats and 1/2 of the bread crumbs.

  2. Spread the remaining oats and bread crumbs onto a plate.

  3. Form chickpea mixture into patties; press into oat-bread crumb mixture into completely coated.

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add patties and cook until patties are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

  5. Mix crab meat, mayonnaise, celery seed, sugar, and paprika together in a bowl until crab salad is well mixed.

  6. Place a bed of lettuce on a serving plate; top with chickpea patties. Spoon crab salad on top of each patty.

Cook's Note:

Patties should hold together if handled gently. If they are too soft, mix in additional oatmeal.

For an improved appearance form the crab salad by pressing it into a small finger bowl before removing and gently placing it on top of the patty.
