These spiced chickpea croquettes are topped with a delicious Greek salad inspired topping. I adapted this recipe from the October, 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas |
1/2 cup chopped green onion |
1/2 cup diced red pepper |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cucumber, quartered and sliced |
1 cup chopped tomato |
1/2 cup chopped red onion |
1/2 cup crumbled feta |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Whisk together the dry ingredients, then whisk in 3/4 cup hot water. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
2. Coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the batter to the skillet 1/4 cup at a time to form patties. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until they're golden on that side, then flip and cook until they're golden on the other side. You should have enough batter for 8 patties.
3. Mix the topping ingredients together and serve atop the croquettes. I usually make my topping mixture ahead and chill it because I like the contrast of the chilled topping and the warm croquettes.
