Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas
- 0.5 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup flour (all-purpose or chickpea)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly, then set aside to remove excess water.
Finely chop the half onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the sautéed onion and garlic, drained chickpeas, cumin, coriander, paprika, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until it becomes a coarse, thick mixture. Make sure not to blend it completely smooth to retain some texture.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the flour and stir quickly until fully incorporated.
Divide the chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same frying pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the chickpea patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and heated through.
Once done, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the sugar-free chickpea patties warm on a bed of salad, inside a pita bread or as desired.
