I tried this recipe, while on holiday, so had to improvise a bit.  With no food processor, I chopped and squashed as best I could.  Substituted chickpeas for beans and torn slices of bread for panko.  It all worked really well and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.  Looking forward to doing the “right” way once we get home!
