Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup  water
  • 1/3 cup  bulgur wheat
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 - 15 ounce can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup  grated carrot

3. Shape 3/4 cup chickpea mixture into a 3/4-inch-thick patty; repeat with remaining chickpea mixture.
4. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook 3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
