Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Add the chickpeas, chilli, coriander, parsley, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and a good sprinkling of salt to a food processor and blend until smooth. The mixture should be pretty sticky.
  • Tip out into a bowl and stir through the flour, a spoonful at a time, until you have a dry enough mixture to make patties out of it. Form into 10 patties and place on a greaseproof paper lined baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes.
