Ingredients
  • 4 oz | 100g | ½ cup raw chickpeas: Soaked overnight and drained. Chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber, making them an excellent base for these patties.
  • 3 oz | 75g | ½ cup raw pistachios (or any nuts/seeds): Pistachios add a nutty flavor and crunch, while also contributing healthy fats and additional protein.
  • 1 onion: Provides sweetness and moisture, balancing the nutty flavors.
  • 1 oz | 30g fresh parsley or cilantro: Fresh herbs add a burst of freshness and color to the patties.
  • 1 garlic clove: Adds depth and a mild spicy flavor.
  • 1 tsp baking powder: Helps the patties to rise slightly, giving them a light texture.
  • 1 tsp ground cumin: Adds a warm, earthy flavor that pairs well with chickpeas.
  • ¼ tsp Korean chili flakes: Provides a hint of spice, which can be adjusted to taste.
  • 1 tsp ground coriander: Complements the cumin with its citrusy undertones.
  • 1 tbsp oil (plus extra for spraying/brushing): Helps bind the patties and adds a bit of richness.
  • Salt to taste: Enhances all the flavors in the patties.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Chickpeas and Pistachios: After soaking the chickpeas overnight, drain them and rinse well. Place the chickpeas and pistachios in a food processor and pulse until finely ground but not completely smooth.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Add the onion, garlic, fresh herbs, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined. Add the baking powder and oil, then pulse a few more times until the mixture is cohesive.
  3. Form the Patties: Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the Patties: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the patties with oil on both sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
  5. Serve: These patties can be served hot or at room temperature. They pair well with a side salad, in a pita with hummus, or on their own as a snack.
