Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 8 Minutes
Ready In: 18 Minutes
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
salt
2 15-oz. cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cumin
1 large egg
1/2 small red onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
6 pita breads, split
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small head romaine lettuce
Directions:
1. Combine yogurt and garlic in a bowl and season with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, 1/2 cup flour, cumin, egg and 1/2 tsp. salt and process until almost smooth. Add onion and pulse just to combine. Place remaining 2 Tbsp. flour on a plate. Form chickpea mixture into 12 1/2-inch-thick patties. Dredge each patty in flour.
3. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook until golden, turning once, about 8 minutes total (work in batches if skillet won't fit all patties). Slide patties into pitas, add tomatoes and lettuce, top with reserved yogurt sauce and serve.
