Time 20m

Yield 6 Patties

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream (low fat or non-fat)
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 (10 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, lightly drained and flaked
1 egg
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix ingredients for sauce (sour cream, lemon juice and lemon zest). Let sit in refrigerator.
In a mini chopper or mixer, blitz the chickpeas with the sesame seeds, lemon juice and garlic. Some chickpea texture is nice, but you can make it smoother if you want to. With a rubber spatula, spoon mixutre into a medium bowl and add tuna, egg, carrot, celery salt, paprika and pepper. Mix well.
Preheat a large nonstick frying pan to medium heat and add olive oil. Make 6 equal patties from tuna mixure. Place in the pan and flatten slightly with a spatula. Let cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
Immediately serve each cake with a dollop of the lemon cream and sprinkle with parsley or cilantro.

Tips:

Use high-quality canned tuna: Opt for tuna packed in water or olive oil for a healthier choice. Solid white albacore tuna is a good option for its mild flavor and firm texture.
Drain the chickpeas thoroughly: Make sure to rinse and drain the chickpeas well before using them. This will help prevent the patties from becoming too mushy.
Don't overmix the patty mixture: Overmixing can make the patties tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Cook the patties over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw in the center.
Serve the patties with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include tartar sauce, mayonnaise, or sriracha sauce.

Conclusion:

These chickpea and tuna patties are a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy a seafood meal. They're easy to make, packed with protein and fiber, and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a healthy appetizer, these patties are sure to please.
