Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pulse the mixture until well combined but still slightly chunky.
-
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and flour, and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
-
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about 1/2 inch thick. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if it's too dry, add a splash of water.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpea cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
-
Cook the chickpea cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Once cooked, transfer the chickpea cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the Chickpea Cakes warm, garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or your favorite salsa on the side.
