vegan MoFo day nineteen: Dawn's Gluten Free Chickpea Cutlets

vegan MoFo day 19: Dawn over at Veg-am, maker of all things tasty 'n gluten-free-soy-free, posted her recipe for gluten free chickpea cutlets last summer. now i'm kicking myself in the booty for not making them sooner 'cause we could have had a whole year more to enjoy them!



xanthan gum and i aren't the bestest of friends, so i subbed in 2 tbsp mochiko flour + 2 tbsp tapioca starch + 2 flax "eggs" instead. the results worked splendidly & we took Dawn's suggestion of making them into nuggets. i was thinking something a little extra might be yummers, so the nuggets were rolled in a brown rice flour-organic corn flakes-gluten-free bread crumb mixture before baking. these little guys were super stellar and great dipped in spicy ketchup, agave nectar, and ranch dressing.

i was so excitedfaced to be enjoying them, not having had nuggets since go'n gluten-free. squeeeeeeeeeeeee! we'll be enjoying leftovers this week with some agave-mustard dressing, too. mmmm! now get in your kitchen and make Dawn's gluten free chickpea cutlets happen 'cause they're gloriously good!

Oooh yeah - loving the look of these.

Yay!!! Glad they turned out so well and that you were able to adjust them to what works for you. :) Loving the idea of putting something crunchy on the outside but still being able to bake them instead of frying. I had been thinking of batter frying them and just couldn't do it.

Oh, since you like to spice it up... buffalo sauce is also a good choice!

Gluten free cutlets/nuggets?! That sounds amazing! I haven't made nuggets in forever and I usually opt for the gluten-y kind, though I bet my belly would bigtime appreciate these instead!

jessy, on an unrelated note, but i didn't know if you'd check back on AndyDufresne's blog...I kinda like the juice foam.

Yeaa!!!!!! You can have chickpea cutlets!!! I get sad when I think about the things that aren't xgfx (like all things seitan and the Vcon chickpea cutlets) that my xgfx friends can't eat. It makes me super happy when you can eat yummy stuff!!
