Cookie Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ooooh, sounds delish Annie - am going to be making this one for sure. I love chickpea burgers, but I've not done chickpea and tuna before. Thanks! Cookie. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Mmm that sounds lovely Annie. Wonder if I can persuade the boys to eat them as I love anything with tuna, chili and lemon in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Do they freeze well? I love making a big batch of things like that and freezing some for the days when I need to feed the children 'out of the freezer' (like ballet day, and swimming day, and........)

AnnieP Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 It says on my recipe to leave out the garlic if you are freezing them uncooked. I haven't ever had any left over to freeze! Chilling them before you attempt to cook them does bind them together better: Mine do occasionally fall apart when I try to turn them over, but I don't mind mine in bits anyway!
