What else do you do with a pound of chickpeas!
Ingredients:
2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Drain chickpeas thoroughly! Add to food processor and blend till becomes a nice mealy texture.
Add the rest of the ingredients
Blend only till completely mixed together, do not over blend. Should be a nice green pea color.
Refrigerate batter for at least one hour, until firm. Remove from fridge and shape batter into 1-inch balls.
Place on pan and put into oven for 10 minutes. Remove pan and flip patties over, they should be toasty on the bottom side. Use the spatula to slightly flatten the patties, return to the oven. You can also start off with disk shapes if you do not want to flip!
After another 10 minutes, remove from oven, cool, and serve. Goes wonderful with Cucumber Riata and Yogurt Tahini Sauce!
