How to Make Chickpea Fritters With Hot Pepper Mayonnaise
- **Make the Spicy Pepper Mayonnaise:**
- In a food processor or blender, combine 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until well combined.
- With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of light-tasting oil (e.g., grapeseed, canola) in a thin, steady stream until the mayonnaise emulsifies.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1-2 finely chopped scotch bonnet peppers (adjust to your spice preference), and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- **Make the Chickpea Fritters:**
- In a food processor or blender, combine 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon red pepper sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pulse 5-6 times until just slightly chunky.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped scallions and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- If serving fritters hot, preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Heat 1/4 cup of oil (same as for mayonnaise) in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter – it should sizzle immediately.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, leaving space between each fritter. Gently flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Keep warm in the preheated oven or let cool to room temperature.
- Repeat steps 8-12 with the remaining batter.
- Serve the chickpea fritters immediately with the spicy pepper mayonnaise.
