Chickpea Croquettes with Greek Salad Topping

Vegetarian Times Issue: October 1, 2009   p.32

Whole chickpeas give these sautéed croquettes a hearty texture.

Directions

To make Topping:

Toss together cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, lemon juice, and oil in bowl. Gently stir in feta crumbles. Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and set aside.

To make Croquettes:

1. Whisk together chickpea flour, cumin, chili powder, and salt in bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup hot water. Stir in remaining ingredients, and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

2. Coat nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Scoop 4 ı/4-cup dollops of chickpea mixture into skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden.

I have never posted on VT before, although I use the recipes all the time, and this one should certainly win an award. It is simple, yet delicious!

Absolutely delicious. Never used Chickpea flour before. Had no trouble finding it in my grocery store. Very happy that I made this recipe - it's a keeper.

Love the recipe- used it several times as an appetizer- just make smaller sizes for dipping in dips - a big hit
