Ingredients

• 15 ounces canned chickpeas
• 0.5 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 cup flour (all-purpose or chickpea)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly, then set aside to remove excess water.

Step 2

Finely chop the half onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a food processor, combine the sautéed onion and garlic, drained chickpeas, cumin, coriander, paprika, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Pulse the mixture until it becomes a coarse, thick mixture. Make sure not to blend it completely smooth to retain some texture.

Step 7

Transfer the chickpea mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the flour and stir quickly until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Divide the chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty.

Step 9

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Fry the chickpea patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 11

Once done, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the sugar-free chickpea patties warm on a bed of salad, inside a pita bread or as desired.
