Chickpea patties with Feta

There is no doubt that feta makes it better. I already love throwing feta into my corn fritters so I thought I would try it with falafel style patties.

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 2 chopped onions
  • 4 cloves garlic - crushed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mint, finely chopped
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 100 grams feta
  • olive oil. 
  1. Put chickpeas, onions, garlic, cumin and coriander into food processor and pulse until chickpeas are broken up. 
  2. Add baking powder, flour, parlsey, mint, pepper and eggs. Pulse until combined. Star twith 1/2 cup flour and if the mixture is too damp add more flour.
  3. Transfer mixture into a large bowl and crumble feta in and mix in with hands. 
  4. Form mixture into small balls.
  5. Fry in a small amount of olive oil at a meadium low heat until golden and cooked through. 
  6. Serve with a mint and yoghurt dressing, or include in wraps with dressing and salad. 
  7. Also can be used as a vegetarian burger pattie.
