Chickpea patties

These are great with salad or veges, or a great healthy alternative to a steak on a barbeque. I generally make a massie batch and then freeze them in portions for lunches for the week.

This makes 9 patties at 102 calories each.

Ingredients
1 can (400g) chickpeas
300g sweet potato, boiled
1/2 red onion or spring onions, chopped finely
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (I prefer wheatgerm, it's healthier and has more protein)
herbs: coriander, ginger, garlic, cumin, black pepper
 

Method: Put all the ingredients in a food processor and process until all blended, but not too smooth. 
Roll into balls and flatten slightly into patties. 
Put in the fridge for at least half an hour to let them set. 
Cook in a medium heat frypan, or on the bbq until cooked through.
