- 1 Can of Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans (drained/ rinsed)
- ½ of Cup Quick Oats
- ½ Cup of Bread Crumbs
- ½ of an Onion
- 4 Cloves of Garlic
- 1 Cup of Cilantro
- ½ Cup of Parsley
- 1 Teaspoon of Coriander
- ½ Teaspoon of Cumin
- ½ of a Lemon (squeezed)
- 1 Teaspoon of Salt
- 2 Teaspoon of Pepper
- 2 Cups of Vegetable Oil
- Using a food processor, pulse chickpeas 5-6 times, scrape down the side and do this 3-4 more times (you want to keep the coriander course in texture) then add to bowl.
- In the food processor, add the quick oats and pulse 10 times, add to chickpea mixture.
- In the food processor, add the onion, garlic, cilantro, and parsley, mix until smooth and then add to mixture.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the mixture and combine lemon juice, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mixture. The filling should be light and fluffy, don’t over mix.
- In a frying pan heat the oil to a med/low heat (approx 140 degrees), form mixture into a small ball and fry approx 1 ½ – 2 minutes. Test the oil with a small crumb first, it should sizzle and float, that’s when you know oil is ready.
Serve with Tzatziki Sauce
