These chickpea cakes are pretty much just hummus in a patty. Make these with any of your favourite herbs and spices and serve with a tahini dip and light micro-green side salad for a healthy vegetarian lunch. Chickpeas are not only delicious, but are a high fibre, high protein bean with many health benefits. They are especially beneficial for digestive support and colon health due to their large amount of insoluble fibre. Show your taste buds how good vegetarian can really taste.
