Garbanzo Patties
Ingredients:
– 2 cans (15 oz each) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse the mixture until well combined but still slightly chunky. Avoid over-mixing to maintain some texture.
2. Scoop out about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have formed all the patties.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Once the patties are cooked through, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve the Garbanzo Patties warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. These patties can be enjoyed on their own as a protein-packed snack or paired with a fresh salad or tucked into a pita pocket with your favorite toppings.
