Time 1h20m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup onion, chopped
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups carrots, grated
1 1/2 cups celery, finely chopped
3 1/2 cups chickpeas
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parsley flakes or 1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon savory
1 tablespoon tarragon
1/3-1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Saute the vegetables in a little water, till the onions are well softened.
Put the chickpeas in a colander, and rinse for 1 minute under hot water. This will make them much easier to mash. Put them in a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
Heat oven to 300°F.
Combine all other ingredients with the chickpeas, and mix well.
Transfer mixture to a nonstick or lightly oiled loaf pan and pat in in evenly. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
Cool the loaf, in the pan, for a few minutes before serving.
Leftovers are great warmed up on a toasted sandwich with gravy!
