Garbanzo Patties

6 servings

Remember that considering this a *burger* and surrounding it with a bun or a pita will turn it from a low carb meal to a high carb meal.  These patties are quite spicy.

Place in blender or food processor:

3 egg whites

3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

1 1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 1/2 teaspoon coriander

1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/3 cup tahini

3 cloves garlic, grated

Process until smooth, then add:

1/3 cup cottage cheese

1 12-14 ounce can of chickpeas, drained

Process until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.

Remove from appliance and add:

2/3 cup wheat germ

Form into 6 patties.

Cook until brown on both sides in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, about 6 minutes per side.

Serve with tzaziki sauce
