1 15ounce can low sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground harissa spice
1/4cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2cup rolled oats
1-2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4cup fresh parsley ,largely chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a large food processor, pulse all ingredients except the onion and parsley. Mix until all ingredients are blended thoroughly to a thick consistency. Add more oats or breadcrumbs if the mix is too watery. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the onions and parsley. Combine thoroughly and set aside.
In a 10" cast iron skillet or large pan, heat oil on medium high heat (this can also be heated on top of a grill if using the cast iron skillet). With clean hands, shape the chickpea mixture into 2" patties and gently place on the pan. Cook for at least 3 minutes each side or until the middle is cooked through. Turn off the heat and serve hot.
