zucchini patty sandwiches

September 27, 2011 by tk

We found this one in whole living magazine and it is for sure off the hook!   In the last 3 weeks, I have made this one like, 3 times.  Big hit in at our house.  Plus it is hearty and easy to make!  You have to try this one!

the stuff:
1 15oz can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 zucchini (grated)
1 red onion (grated)
1 egg (lightly whisked)
coconut oil
whole-wheat pitas
1 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt
8 lettuce leaves (chopped)
1 cup fresh mint (chopped)
1 avocado (peeled and sliced)

what to do with the stuff:
-mash chickpeas in a bowl until mostly smooth
-stir in bread crumbs, zucchini, onion and egg
-from mixture to patties (like burgers)
-saute patties in coconut oil until golden brown (about 3-5 min per side)
-serve in pitas stuffed with yogurt, lettuce, mint and avocado

hint: I would double the recipe because they are so good left over for lunch!!! If you want to go leaner just skip the pita.  I have been doing that and it is still great just with the toppings.
