Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned chickpeas
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped red onion, parsley, and garlic cloves. Pulse the mixture until coarsely combined. Do not over-process; it should have a chunky texture.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice to the chickpea mixture. Mix well to incorporate all the spices evenly.
Gradually add chickpea flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture binds together and can be formed into patties.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the fritters in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the fritters for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the chickpea fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
