    Sometimes I just crave vegetarian foods. As I sit here this morning, looking at this photo, I could dig right into another one of these....but I will contain myself! One of the hardest parts of being a "foodie" and a cook is leaving well enough alone. I admit, I'm having a harder time lately and therefore I have resorted back to my cooking light recipes.

    I attended a boarding school in my high school years that served only vegetarian foods. My mom also made vegetarian meals at home, so for me this wasn't a horrible thing. I really crave some of these foods at times. Since last evening Grumpy wasn't particularly in the mood for anything I decided to make these Chickpea and Corn Patties. He promised me he would try them - he's good like that. He didn't care for these but I really liked them! Guess I know what I will be eating for lunch the next few days - but I certainly won't mind!


    Chickpea and Corn Patties
    Cooking Light Complete

    2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
    1-½ cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears) (I just used canned corn - no fresh corn in the middle of winter here and no frozen corn in my freezer!)
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
    1 (19 oz) can chickpeas, rinced and drained
    ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
    4 teaspoons cornmeal
    cooking spray
    ¼ cup fat free sour cream
    ¼ cup bottled salsa
    Thyme sprigs (optional)

    Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn, onion, and minced thyme. Saute 2 minutes. Place onion mixture, chickpeas, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons cornmeal, salt and red pepper in a food processor. Pulse 8 times or until combined and chunky.

    Divide chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions (I used a ¼ cup measure and it worked out perfectly!), shaping each into ½ inch thick patty; dredge in cornmeal. Heat ½ teaspoon oil in skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add 4 patties; cook 5 minutes. Carefully turn patties over; cook 4 minutes or until golden. Repeat procedure with ½ teaspoon oil and remaining patties. Serve with fat-free sour cream and salsa. Garnish with thyme sprigs if desired. Yield: 4 servings (2 patties equals 1 serving), 1 tablespoon sour cream, and 1 tablespoon salsa.

      Thanks for stopping by my blog. It helped me discover your wonderful space!
      Patties are a favorite in my home. I make a spiced up Indian version of these.:)

      These sound fantastic. I've made something similar with black beans before. And, I get vegetarian cravings too!

      These look so good & remind me of falafel which I haven't made for so long, but love to eat at Chez Marianne in Paris.

      I like vegetarian food just fine but I don't always have good luck with veggie patties. The cornmeal in these makes me think I should try these. 🙂

      A vegetarian boarding school? Wild!

      These look so good but I can only admire from a distance - I have a reaction to chickpeas. Any possible substitute for it you can suggest b/c I'd love to try it!

      Emily- you bet his loss is my gain (sometimes in more ways than I want 😉 hehe).

      Katie - I don't always listen to Grumpy either...he's kinda gotten used to that though! If I started doing everything his way he would wonder what was wrong with me! Variety is the spice of life for sure!

      Katypi, I didn't make anything else to go with them. It was a lazy night, Grumpy wasn't really hungry, and all I wanted was those patties! LOL You can make them a meal on their own served with a veggie or as a side to a meat dish, maybe a spicy meat dish...Yum!

      Now I just LOVE corn and chickpeas. I'd be willing to bet I'd really enjoy these. I'm going to put this on my to-do list. What else did you make to go along with these or are they intended to be a meal by themselves?

      These look great and everyone needs to go meatless every once and a while my husband doesn't agree but I do it anyway!

      Those patties look wonderful! Grumpy's loss is your gain for sure! I love anything that comes in an individual serving. Yum.

      Best,
      Emily

      Thanks for the comments everyone! I have to say these were BETTER today. I made them Saturday night. I think the patties had more flavor after sitting in my fridge a day and half! I also ended up leaving the sour cream off today and used more salsa. If your inclined to like this type of food, you will definitely like this patty so I encourage you to try it!
