Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to roughly mash them, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 2
Add the chopped garlic, onion, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, lemon juice, flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until the mixture comes together into a thick, moldable paste.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 4
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Gently press each patty into the sesame seeds to coat both sides evenly.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches (do not overcrowd the pan).
Step 6
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with a side salad, yogurt-based sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
