How to Prepare Crispy Breaded Chickpea Cutlets in Mushroom Gravy [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Chickpea Cutlets:
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients but the flour and process until smooth. Add the flour and pulse to blend. It should be soft enough to form into cutlets but not too sticky. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. Shape into ovals, and set aside on a plate.
- Place the yeast and flaxseed, and sea salt in a bowl, and mix together. Place the aquafaba into another bowl. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Dip each cutlet into the aquafaba, then the yeast mixture to coat it. Place on the parchment lined tray. Spray with olive oil if desired.
- Place in a 400°F oven, and bake for about 20-30 minutes until heated through and browned at the edges.
To Make the Mushroom Gravy:
- Combine all ingredients but the arrowroot mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the arrowroot and cook until thickened. Serve over the cutlets.

What could be substituted for almond flour? Would it be possible to also use chia instead of flax? Any thoughts? Thanks.
