Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to roughly mash them, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the chopped garlic, onion, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, lemon juice, flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until the mixture comes together into a thick, moldable paste.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Gently press each patty into the sesame seeds to coat both sides evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches (do not overcrowd the pan).
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with a side salad, yogurt-based sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
