Chickpea Fritters
Chickpea Fritters
This is a pretty standard chickpea fritters recipe that is super tasty and ready in 10 minutes. All the ingredients get pulsed in a food processor. The cilantro and green onion gets stirred in. Drop them in a pot of hot oil with a cookie dropper for 5 minutes to fry, then drain the grease. The secret to having these fritters stay together in the oil without breaking apart is to not touch them. Let the fritters set. They’ll be alright. If you fidget with them right off the bat, they’ll separate. Serve the fritters with a simple yogurt sauce made of Greek yogurt, honey, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper.
