Prepare all the ingredients before you start: drain the chickpeas in a sieve and dry them with a paper towel. Finely chop the onion, crush or chop the garlic. Chop the parsley. If you are using flaxseed instead of an egg, mix the flaxseed with 45 ml of water and let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
Description
A light and spring-inspired snack influenced by plant-based cuisine: golden chickpea patties served with a slightly sweet and sour rhubarb chutney and a fresh salad of sprouts and sorrel. The dish combines the creamy texture of chickpeas, the nutty hint of oats, and the freshness of sorrel, while the chutney adds a distinctive spring acidity. Perfect as a fit appetizer for New Year's Eve, for a gathering with friends, or as a light lunch. Serve hot patties with a spoonful of chutney and a portion of salad; the visual contrast of colors (pink rhubarb, green sprouts, golden patties) is eye-catching and encourages tasting.

Preparation steps
Preparation of ingredients
Cutlets
Sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon (15 g) of rapeseed oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly golden. Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds and remove from heat. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
Place the drained chickpeas in a food processor and pulse in short bursts (2-3 times for 1-2 seconds) until the grains are broken down, but not completely into a paste — a light texture should remain. Transfer to a large bowl.
To the crushed chickpeas, add the cooled onion with garlic, ground oats, egg (or prepared flaxseed), chopped parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the ingredients are combined. The mixture should be firm and slightly sticky — if it is too runny, add 1-2 tablespoons of ground oats; if too dry, add a tablespoon of chickpea canning liquid or a little water.
Shape the patties: wet your hands with water, take a portion of the mixture the size of a tablespoon and form a ball, then gently flatten it to about 1.5 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate lined with paper towels. You should get 10–12 patties.
Chill the formed patties in the refrigerator for 20 minutes — this will help them bind and maintain their shape while frying.
In a pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of rapeseed oil over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. After frying, drain on paper towels.
Rhubarb chutney
In a small pot, place the chopped rhubarb (about 1-2 cm pieces), a tablespoon of oil (15 g), 1 finely chopped onion (if you want a stronger flavor, use red), sugar, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and the sauce thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Salad
Prepare the salad: wash and dry the sprouts and sorrel. Cut the cucumber into thin half-moons. If you are using asparagus (optional), trim the tough ends and blanch the spears for 2 minutes in boiling water, then quickly transfer to cold water.
Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, mix the mustard, 15 g of rapeseed oil (1 tablespoon), the juice from peeling the cucumber (or 10 ml of water), salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad just before serving and gently toss.
Assembly and serving
On a plate, arrange a portion of the sprout and sorrel salad, next to it place 2-3 warm chickpea patties. Top each patty with 1-2 teaspoons of rhubarb chutney. If using, add natural yogurt in a small bowl as a dip. Sprinkle everything with fresh parsley for decoration.
Final tips
If you prepare in advance: the patties can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours after frying and reheated in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 180°C to regain their crispiness. Store the chutney in a closed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Fun Fact
Chickpeas have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Middle East and gained popularity in Europe as a high-protein plant. Rhubarb was once regarded in Europe as a medicinal plant, and only later was it eaten as a fruit.

Tips
Serve the patties immediately after frying with a spoonful of warm chutney and a fresh salad. At a party, arrange the patties on a large platter with dips — yogurt and the remaining chutney. For vegan guests, prepare a version with flaxseed instead of egg.
Cutlets: store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container; reheat in the oven at 180°C for 8-10 minutes. Chutney: in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; can be frozen in portions for up to 3 months. Prepare the salad just before serving to prevent it from wilting.
