Description:
Spiced chickpea patties~

Ingredients:
1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 C diced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt and black pepper
2 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp oil

Directions:
1) Mash chickpeas, and add in parsley, garlic, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
2) Gently squeeze the mixture and form form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties.
3) Coat with the flour, tapping off excess.
2) Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties, turning carefully, until golden brown, 3 to 5 min per side.

Remarks:
The chickpea patties were bland and dry, perhaps due to my poor cooking skills. The patties crumbled slightly when cooking, do take note to flip them gently.
