| | Chickpea CroquettesPage 1 of 1 | Chickpea Croquettes (makes 8 patties)
1 c whole wheat flour 3/4 c hot water juice of 1/2 lemon 2 t ground cumin 1 1/2 t salt 15-oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained well 4 scallions, chopped 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped 1 habanero or jalapeno, minced 3 garlic cloves , minced 2 T chopped cilantro leaves 3 T olive oil
In a large bowl, add flour, water, lemon juice, cumin and salt. Stir until well combined. Add in chickpeas, scallions, pepper, habanero, garlic and cilantro. Stir well.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil, over medium heat. With your hands, form the chickpea mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2“ thick (the patties may be quite wet, but will stay together when cooked). Place 4 patties in the pan, and cook 4-5 minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown. With a spatula, flip patties, and cook 4-5 minutes on the other side, until that side begins to brown. Transfer to a plate, or cook for an additional minute on each side, until desired doneness. Repeat with the remaining 4 patties. Serve with sour cream, salsa, or chopped avocado. I've made this a few times and was thinking of doing so the weekend. | |
