Steps:
- Cook chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, salt, cumin, cayenne (if using), and cinnamon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic has softened and spices are fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor. Add egg and almond butter and pulse until a smooth paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in quinoa.
- Scoop out 1 heaping Tbsp. chickpea mixture and use wet hands to roll into a ping pong-size ball. Flatten slightly between your palms, then transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chickpea mixture (you should have about 16 patties).
- Pour vegetable oil into a medium cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven to a depth of 1/2". Heat over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, fry patties, turning often with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and let cool slightly.
- Do Ahead: Chickpea mixture can be formed into patties 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic and chill, or freeze on baking sheet until solid, at least 2 hours, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 3 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding about 1 minute to cook time.
QUINOA MEDITERRANEANA
Steps:
- Cover quinoa with 4 cups of water and rub the grains between the palm of your hands for 2 seconds. Drain and repeat the process 1 more time.
- Bring 4 1/2 cups water to a boil; add quinoa, sea salt, and olive oil. Cover, lower heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let cool, then fluff with a fork. Add the artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, spinach, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and Greek dressing, and toss to mix well. Sprinkle with pine nuts and goat feta.
- Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl. Check and adjust the seasonings.
