Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 6 cups of garbanzo fava flour
  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp of water or veggie broth
  • 4 tsp cornstarch
  • The following are optional, but this was what I used: make it your own flavor if you want by adding more or less of any:
  • 2 tsp vegan chickenless seasoning
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • pinch of cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt & pepper
  • 1 cup of Vegan Panko or bread crumbs
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp paprika

Method:

  1. Set aside the cup of breadcrumbs, 2 tsp parsley, 1 tsp garlic salt & 1 tsp paprika. Mix together all of the other dry ingredients (garbanzo fava flour, cornstarch, vegan chickenless seasoning, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic salt, oregano, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt & pepper) with a whisk.

2. Add the veggie broth or water & begin to mix until it forms a dough. Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes then separate into 8 even balls of dough.

3. Use a flat pan with edges, mix the Panko and spices & add each ball of dough to the pan. Press the patty down to get some crumbs on both sides and flatten it into a patty shape. Flip it over a couple of times to coat it well.

4. Pan fry in vegetable oil for a couple of minutes on each side. Enjoy!
