Chickpea Patties
Makes 6 - 8 patties
Ingredients
1 can of chickpeas, 15oz., drained
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp parsley
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cumin
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2-3 tbsp water
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp canola/vegetable oil
Dipping Sauce *optional*:
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
Water to thin out the mixture (about 1/4 cup)
Dash of salt
Directions
Using a food processor (or a potato masher if you don't have a processor), combine the chickpeas, garlic powder, parsley, flour, cumin, cheese, water, salt and pepper. Blend and mix well until a smooth dough-like texture is created.
Spoon the mixture into your hand and roll to create a ball. Flatten and set aside. Repeat until your mixture is complete.
Meanwhile, heat the oil on medium-high heat in a pan.
Once the oil is heated, gently place each patty into the oil. Pan fry for about 1 - 2 minutes, then gently turn each patty over. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Carefully remove the patties from the oil and set them aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
To make the sauce, simply combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth.
Serve patties on a dish with the sauce and enjoy! You may also pair this with a fresh salad or pita bread.
