Chickpea cutlets with carrots

4 servings

60 minutes

Chickpea and carrot patties are tender, aromatic vegetarian patties inspired by Mexican culinary traditions. Chickpeas, the base of the dish, were known to ancient Aztecs, and their combination with carrots, garlic, and onions gives the patties natural sweetness and zest. The flavor is rich with a slight nuttiness and subtle spice notes. Fried in vegetable oil, they develop an appetizing golden crust, making them a perfect complement to fresh salad, guacamole sauce or Mexican tortillas. These patties are great for a light snack or a full meal. Additionally, they are rich in plant protein and fit perfectly into a healthy diet.
