Chickpea Cutlets

Typically I might make it a point not to do something that everyone else is doing, but I couldn't have that attitude when Chickpea Cutlets are involved. This was probably the Veganomicon recipe I most wanted to try so even if they've been blogged about multiple times already, well I just had to jump on the bandwagon. Isa and Terry sure have done some wonderful things with the humble chickpea and these chewy cutlets are sure to become a regular in our kitchen. They were great with the mustard sauce but their versatility is apparent. Next time maybe we'll have them with smashed taters and gravy. Or how about baked with marinara sauce? Possibilities abound.

Oh yeah, on the side this time was sautéed yellow squash and a yummy salad I threw together with romaine, baby spinach, carrots, walnuts, chickpeas, dried cranberries and avocado with a balsamic vinaigrette. I only wish we had more of the cutlets leftover. If you haven't made this recipe yet, do yourself a favor and just go ahead and make a double batch the first time. Trust me on this.
