Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas
• 0.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.25 cups fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until they resemble coarse flour. Transfer the oat flour to the bowl with the chickpeas.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the chopped red onion, garlic, and fresh parsley to the food processor and pulse until finely minced. Add this mixture to the bowl with the chickpeas and oats.

Step 5

Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chickpea mixture.

Step 6

Add the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice to the mixture.

Step 7

Using a fork or potato masher, mash everything together until well mixed. The mixture should be chunky but hold together when formed into a patty.

Step 8

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.

Step 9

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional olive oil if needed.

Step 10

Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Serve the patties warm, alongside a salad or in a whole-grain pita for a complete meal.
