How to Make Chickpea Cutlets
- Mash 1 15-ounce can chickpeas with 2 tablespoons olive oil until completely smooth and no whole chickpeas remain.
- Add 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Knead for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and forms strings of gluten.
- Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Divide the chickpea mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Gently flatten each portion into a 4x6 inch cutlet. You can use a bit of olive oil on your hands to prevent sticking.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the preheated skillet.
- Carefully place the cutlets in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These cutlets are delicious on their own, in sandwiches, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
