After I made the Cajun Chickpea Cakes, I wondered why I didn't make bean cakes more often. Afterall, they're so quick and easy! I was rumaging through my fridge for dinner ideas when I found a bunch of asparagus on the verge of going bad. I was also in the mood for something lemony, so piccata seemed like a good fit. I'd actually never had piccata until I was vegan and the one time I tried to make seitan piccata at home was a slight failure. So, I tried my hand at making an easy chickpea cake that could rock out in seiten's place. Shove over seitan! There is a new sheriff in town - the mighty chickpea!
