Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or a potato masher until they reach a coarse consistency. Some pieces can be left whole for texture.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and the lightly beaten egg. Mix all ingredients until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chickpea patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the chickpea patties warm with your choice of sides or in a gluten-free sandwich or wrap.
