Chickpea Fritters With Tzatziki Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat air-fryer to 400°. In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients; refrigerate until serving., Place chickpeas and seasonings in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add egg and baking soda; pulse until blended. Transfer to a bowl; stir in cilantro and green onions., In batches, drop rounded tablespoons of bean mixture onto greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sesame seeds, cumin, and cayenne; cook, stirring, until the sesame seeds have begun to brown lightly and the spices are very fragrant, about 2 minutes; set aside.
• In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, egg white, salt, and 1 tablespoon oil. Pulse several times to form a semismooth paste. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in onion mixture. Fold in flour until just combined. Using your hands, form batter into 1 1/4-inch patties, each about 1/3 inch thick.
• In a 12-inch saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Cook half the patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a paper-towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining patties and tablespoon oil. Serve immediately with tzatziki.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients; refrigerate until serving., Place the chickpeas and seasonings in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add egg and baking soda; pulse until blended. Transfer to a bowl; stir in cilantro and green onions., In a cast-iron Dutch oven or an electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Shape rounded tablespoons of bean mixture into balls. Drop a few at a time into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes, turning frequently. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then put them in a large mixing bowl.
• Mash them up with a potato masher! There should still be some whole ones in there.
• Note: you can use a food processor this, but DO NOT PUREE. Pulse a few times so some get pureed, but some whole ones remain. Then pour into a large mixing bowl. I'd rather use the potato masher for authenticity and since it ends up in the mixing bowl anyway, washing the potato masher is far easier than washing the food processor.
• Blend the chickpeas with the garlic and tahini.
• Add all the spices and meld together.
• Fold in the flour and mix together.
• Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes.
• While the mixture is sitting, make the tzatziki sauce: start by mixing the yogurt with the lemon juice.
• Mix in the spices.
• Finely dice the cucumber (1 cuke should be enough) then add it to the tzatziki. Voila, it's done! Now get back to the fritter mixture.
• With your hands, form 2" balls and flatten into discs. There should be about 30 or so.
• Fry in the olive oil about 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Blot on paper towels, serve, and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a colander, sprinkle cucumber with salt; toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, vinegar, oil, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine the red pepper, shallots, garlic, lemon peel and ginger in a large bowl. Squeeze the carrots to remove the excess juice then add to the bowl.
• Place the chickpeas in a food processor and whizz for a few seconds until broken down and crumbly. You don't want a puree so don't blend too far. If you don't have a food processor just crush with chickpeas with the back of a fork.
• Add the chickpeas to the bowl along with the garam masala, cumin and ground coriander.
• Add the egg and mix well then sieve over the flour and mix again.
• Shape into small discs and fry for around 3 minutes a side in a little olive oil.
• When cooked remove and place on kitchen paper to cool.
• To make the tzatziki combine the cucumber, garlic and yoghurt in a bowl. Top the fritters with the chopped coriander.
