Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and set them aside to drain completely.
Chop the small onion and garlic cloves finely, and add them to a food processor with the chickpeas.
Add the fresh parsley to the food processor along with ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture several times until it is well combined and forms a coarse paste. Be careful not to over-process; it should still have some texture.
Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl, and add the all-purpose flour and lemon juice to it.
Use a large spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix everything until the flour is evenly incorporated and the mixture holds together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan in batches, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the chickpea patties warm with your choice of dipping sauce or over a salad.
