Recipe Details:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin 🌶
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup flour (you can use chickpea or all-purpose)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil for frying
- Blend the Chickpeas:
In a food processor, blend the chickpeas until they're coarsely mashed. You don’t want them too smooth—leave a little texture.
- Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the mashed chickpeas, chopped spinach, diced onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the flour until everything is well mixed. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more flour.
- Form the Fritters:
With your hands, form the mixture into small patties or fritters—about 2-3 inches in diameter. Press them gently to hold their shape.
- Fry the Fritters:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Work in batches if necessary, and add more oil if needed. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, place the fritters on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad. They’re perfect with a tangy yogurt dip or some fresh lemon juice squeezed on top!
These Chickpea Spinach Fritters are not only delicious but also super versatile. You can enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or even a light lunch. Plus, they’re packed with plant-based goodness!
Give them a try, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
