Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for frying)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the garbanzo beans with a fork or potato masher until a slightly chunky but cohesive texture is achieved.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, flour, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the olive oil, egg, and breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together when pressed. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour or breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a splash of water.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 small patties or 4 larger patties, depending on your preference.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the savory garbanzo patties immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, salad, or in a bun as a vegetarian burger.
