Very good. I used the oven method. Couldn't find my thume so used 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning. Flavor is good, but they're a bit soft and bready. Perhaps I should have kneaded the dough longer. The oatside edges got chewy and "meaty" but the inside wasn't going to fool anyone lol I'm going to play around with this a bit. Try adding in some tahini or PB, maybe a little less broth, or a little more gluten. Either way this one is going in the recipe box! You'd never know they're made with chickpeas either. I'll return and update if I find some phenomenal improvement THESE ARE DEFINATELY WORTH TRYING!

    These were very yummy topped with the Golden Gravy that is posted on here. I followed QueenKungFu's suggestion and stuck them in the oven since we are trying to cut way back on oil. I also only put one tablespoon in the cutlets. They are probably better with two, but . . . :O) Thanks so much for sharing!! :O)

    I just made these tonight from the book and they are so good. I used their oven method which is to preheat the oven to 375, brush a baking with olive oil, brush both sides of the cutlets with olive oil. Bake them for 20 minutes and then flip the patties and bake for 8-10 more minutes. They are supposed to come out more toothsome and chewy this way. Mine were perfect! I didn't have lemon so I just used a squirt of lemon juice. SO DELICIOUS!

    Excellent! Vegetarian kid loved these. He likes the "tooth" and says the flavor is better than any purchased meat substitute. This evening we will try using one of them with a caramelized onion and mushroom sauce. I doubled the recipe. Put liquid ingredients, oil and chickpeas in the blender and pulsed until smooth. Then added the flavorings. Pulsed until the flavors mixed in and turned the batter out onto the counter to knead in the wheat gluten and crumbs. It was very stiff so I used a rolling pin to flatten it, then shaped it into "chop" shapes. Browned until partially cooked and froze. I plan on making this again only leaving out the soy sauce. I suspect that they will work nicely breaded or grilled and should be a bit more versatile when saucing. Thanks so much for this. It is some work but very definitely worth it.
