Ingredients
115-oz canchickpeas
1clovegarliccrushed
1teaspoonground cumin
1teaspoonground coriander
1small onionpeeled and chopped
2Tablespoonslemon juice
1Tablespoonflour
2Tablespoonschopped parsley
1/4cupolive oilfor frying
Instructions
Rinse the chickpeas and drain them. Prepare garlic, onion and parsley.
In a food processor (or in a bowl with a potato masher) combine chickpeas, garlic, spices, onions and lemon juice and pulse a few times to chop and combine.
Add flour and parsley and mix well. It's okay if there are still chunks of chickpeas.
Using a spoon and your hands, shape the mixture into 12 patties and place them on a tray or baking sheet. Chill for 20 minutes to firm them up a little.
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet until very hot and place 6 patties in the pan. Fry over medium low heat for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Serve warm as they are, or in a pita pocket. Clara loves hers with mashed avocado.
