- 2 whole scallions, white and green, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1/3 cup fresh frozen wheat germ (see note)
- 2 cans (1 pound each)chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
- 1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
- 1 large egg and 1 egg white
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
- 6 large sesame seeded kaiser rolls
- 1 large head Boston lettuce, shredded
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 3/4 cup bottled chutney, preferably Major Grey's, chopped
- 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- In a food processor, combine and finely chop scallions, parsley, wheat germ, and chickpeas. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in the curry powder, whole egg, egg white, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide mixture into 12 small patties and set aside.
- Film a large heavy skillet with the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the chickpea patties and cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Divide shredded lettuce between 6 salad plates. Top with thinly sliced red onion, and almonds. In a small bowl, combine the chutney and sour cream and mix well. Divide dressing and dribble evenly over the salads. Top each portion with 2 warm chickpea patties, and serve immediately.
- Note: For the freshest taste, use the frozen wheat germ found in natural foods stores.
