Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 2 stalks green onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and any canning liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chickpeas and mash them using a fork or potato masher. It's okay to leave some chunks for texture.
Finely chop the green onions and cilantro. Mince the garlic cloves.
Add the green onions, cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add the chickpea flour to the mixture, stirring until the mixture holds together when formed into a ball.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick and 2.5 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free chickpea patties warm, either on their own, in a gluten-free bun, or wrapped in lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
