Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a potato masher or fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, and lemon juice to the mashed chickpeas. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle in cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour to the chickpea mixture and mix until a manageable dough forms. If necessary, adjust the flour to achieve the desired consistency.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each into a patty, about ½ inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm, as a sandwich filling, or as part of a salad.
