Chickpea Patties

1 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp cumin
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup low fat yogurt (preferably greek)
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

  • In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper just until coarsely chopped and the mixture comes together when gently squeezed.


  • Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties and coat with the flour, tapping off excess.


  • Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties, turning carefully, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Definitely give this recipe a try! The chickpea patties are so yummy that you won’t even notice that they are “health” food! From carrots and cake.
