Ingredients

  • 1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and ready
  • A quarter cup of panko bread crumbs, or more if necessary
  • A quarter cup of finely chopped onion for flavor
  • A quarter cup of quality olive oil to bind the mixture
  • One large egg to hold everything together
  • Two tablespoons of dried parsley for a fresh touch
  • One tablespoon of aromatic curry powder
  • One tablespoon of garlic powder for depth
  • A tablespoon of zesty lemon juice for brightness
  • Half a tablespoon of ground black pepper for a kick
  • Another quarter cup of panko bread crumbs, or more if required
  • One cup of olive oil for frying, or more as needed

Step 1

In a creative twist, gather garbanzo beans, panko bread crumbs, diced onion, a splash of olive oil, a fresh egg, fragrant parsley, zesty curry powder, a hint of garlic powder, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a dash of black pepper. Combine these ingredients in a food processor or blender until they form a textured mixture. If the mixture seems too wet, you can incorporate more panko crumbs for balance.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into round balls resembling the size of a golf ball and place them delicately on a plate. Gently flatten the balls into patties and generously coat them with a layer of panko bread crumbs for a crispy exterior.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat a layer of olive oil over medium heat to about an inch deep. Carefully pan-fry the patties until they turn golden and crispy, typically taking around 3 minutes per side. This process helps to create a delectable texture and adds a delightful crunch to the patties.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  2. 2. Utilize stackable baskets or wire shelves to maximize space in your pantry or kitchen cabinets for storing canned goods like chickpeas and tahini.
