Oh my, so many amazing pics here! I can't even comment on them all individually but wow! I'm hungry now. :drool:
 
It was! My kitchen smells so good after cooking the cutlets.
 
I had green beans with slivered almonds last night. :D
 
This looks yummo! Plus I already have some green beans in the fridge

Would you care to share your chickpea cutlet recipe?
I'm having it again tonight :D. The recipe is from Veganomicon:

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.

Note: I usually divide the cutlets into 5 or 6 pieces instead of 4. I also reduce the cooking time to 3 or 4 minutes on each side, depending on how crispy I want them.
