These lovely savoury chickpea cakes are great to enjoy and make a super well-balanced and nutritious meal with some homemade guacamole, some tomato puree or both, served with some greens and some carbs such as sweet potato fries for example.

 

Ingredients (serves 4)

 

• 2 cans (800g) Chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1/2 a medium yellow Onion, diced

• 3 cloves of Garlic, crushed

• 1 teaspoon of Chili powder

• 1 teaspoon of ground Cumin

• 1 teaspoon of Lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoon of Salt

• 1/4 cup of rolled Oats (or bread crumbs)

• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, plus more for frying

• 1/4 cup of all purpose Flour

Method

Combine all ingredients, except the flour and oil in a food processor and process just until chunky and not totally smooth.
Using about 1/4 cup of the mixture, roll into a ball and then gently press the ball into a patty. Do the same with the remaining mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

After the patties have chilled, use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of a pan and heat over medium-high heat. Dust the patties in flour and fry for about 4 – 5 minutes per side.

Remove from oil until they have turned golden-brown.
