Move over pork
May 21, 2009
THIS is the other white meat. And that’s all I have to say about that.
Chik’n patties – Way better than quorn or Morningstar (6 breasts)
1 cup chickpeas
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup onion, minced
1 tsp rosemary + garlic
1/2 tsp majoram
2/3 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
Puree chickpeas with broth, onion, and seasonings in a food processor. Add VWG to form a dough. Portion out dough into chicken breast shaped patties (5) in tin foil packers. Steam in your basket steamer for about 30 minutes.
After the chik’n patties are steamed, they will be firm. You can then bake them, grill them, saute them, broil them, boil them. Fry them. Skewer them. Chicken n rice. Chicken n dumplings. Chicken Stew. Chicken Sandwich…

I gotta repeat it here, I love this recipe and make it all the time. Thanks Branny! 😀
Responses from people like you who make my dishes are the reason I blog. Thanks so back for coming back and letting me know!
These have been bookmarked for months and I’m going to crack down and finally make them next week! 🙂
