Ingredients
1 cup cooked chickpeas 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated with a Microplane grater 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika 1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage Olive oil for pan frying
1- In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas together with the oil until no chickpeas are left. Add the remaining ingredients and knead together for about 3 minutes, until strings of gluten have formed.
2- Preheat a large heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, divide the cutlet dough into 4 equal pieces. To form cutlets, knead each piece in your hand for a few moments and then flatten and stretch each one into a roughly 6 by 4 inch rectangular cutlet shape. The easiest way to do this is to form a rectangle shape in your hands and then place the cutlets on a clean surface to flatten and stretch them.
3- Add a moderately thin layer of olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Place the cutlets in the pan and cook on each side for 6 to 7 minutes. Add more oil, if needed, when you flip the cutlets. They’re ready when lightly browned and firm to the touch.

So easy! I didn't use the Hungarian paprika or the sage, but I couldn't believe I had all of the other ingredients in my fridge (besides the vital wheat gluten). I was craving something hearty this morning and was so sick of eggs, and was kind of craving falafel. These were perfect. - 6/9/11
