Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas
• 1 small onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and set them aside to drain completely.

Step 2

Chop the small onion and garlic cloves finely, and add them to a food processor with the chickpeas.

Step 3

Add the fresh parsley to the food processor along with ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture several times until it is well combined and forms a coarse paste. Be careful not to over-process; it should still have some texture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl, and add the all-purpose flour and lemon juice to it.

Step 6

Use a large spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix everything until the flour is evenly incorporated and the mixture holds together.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan in batches, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the chickpea patties warm with your choice of dipping sauce or over a salad.
