Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until they resemble coarse flour. Transfer the oat flour to the bowl with the chickpeas.
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.
Add the chopped red onion, garlic, and fresh parsley to the food processor and pulse until finely minced. Add this mixture to the bowl with the chickpeas and oats.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chickpea mixture.
Add the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice to the mixture.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash everything together until well mixed. The mixture should be chunky but hold together when formed into a patty.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional olive oil if needed.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve the patties warm, alongside a salad or in a whole-grain pita for a complete meal.
