chickpea/garbanzo/gram/chana
Chickpeas are high in protein and are a key ingredient in hummus/chana masala, and ground in falafel.
The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. Its different types are variously known as gram or Bengal gram, garbanzo or garbanzo bean, Egyptianpea, chana, and chole. Chickpea seeds are high in protein. Chickpea is a key ingredient in hummus and chana masala, and it can be ground into flour to make falafel. It is also used in salads, soups and stews, curry and other meal products like channa. The chickpea is important in both Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine.
This recipe was originally a sandwich filling but it struck us that it would make an excellent jacket potato topping, so that's how we had it.
If you decide to take it back to a sandwich filling, you'll probably want to reduce the recipe to a single tin of chickpeas.

I’m always looking for fun vegan recipes to try, and I really like this one! Artichokes are used in place of crab. If you have a shellfish allergy, this is also a good way to get something similar to a crab cake.
I will often make a batch of the patty mixture, toss it in the fridge, and then...

I'm still working on this recipe. The first time I made it out was way too dry for my liking. I've not had chance to make it again, but I'll write it up with the changes I want to make to it, maybe tomorrow or Wednesday?
