- 20 patties
Ingredients
- 1 can (15oz) chickpeas, drained well
- 1 can albacore tuna in water, drained
- 4 Light spreadable cheese wedges (I used 2 regular flavor and 2 Garlic and Herb flavor)
- 1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp minced onion
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor until a paste is formed. Let mixture sit in refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight if planning ahead). With moist hands, make 20 equal balls with the mix. Lightly brush olive oil on the surface of a nonstick grill pan. Heat pan to medium high heat. Take each ball and flatten into patty. Place on hot grill pan. Brown evenly on both sides. Serve warm on a bed of lettuce with your favorite light dip.
