SPICY CHICKPEA FRITTERS
This recipe is a the product of a trial and error development of my own. Middle Eastern food like falafel is the inspiration. I hope you enjoy them. They can be served cold with salad or warm with stir-fry vegetables. Also good served on their own as a snack or dipped in your favourite sauce. To add your own personal touch you could experiment with your favourite herb & spice blends. Freezes well for three months. Preparation time excludes time used to soak chickpeas. If desired you can omit the 150 g water and the bouillon granules or powder and replace with 150 ml stock liquid. Italian herbs are a blend of marjoram, basil, red bell peppers, oregano, rosemary, parsley and thyme.

CHICKPEA FRITTERS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE
Delicious and you won't believe it's healthy! Vegans will want to skip the tzatziki (unless you sub soy-based plain yogurt), but to make it properly vegan these are also delicious with chutney and tamarind sauce-- and Recipe #396075. I had so much fun making these and I hope they get picked for Veg Swap 16! :D Egg-free and if you sub soy yogurt or skip the tzatziki, it's dairy-free. I am also pretty sure that besan is gluten-free but unsure about this claim.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then put them in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash them up with a potato masher! There should still be some whole ones in there.
- Note: you can use a food processor this, but DO NOT PUREE. Pulse a few times so some get pureed, but some whole ones remain. Then pour into a large mixing bowl. I'd rather use the potato masher for authenticity and since it ends up in the mixing bowl anyway, washing the potato masher is far easier than washing the food processor.
- Blend the chickpeas with the garlic and tahini.
- Add all the spices and meld together.
- Fold in the flour and mix together.
- Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes.
- While the mixture is sitting, make the tzatziki sauce: start by mixing the yogurt with the lemon juice.
- Mix in the spices.
- Finely dice the cucumber (1 cuke should be enough) then add it to the tzatziki. Voila, it's done! Now get back to the fritter mixture.
- With your hands, form 2" balls and flatten into discs. There should be about 30 or so.
- Fry in the olive oil about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Blot on paper towels, serve, and enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh chickpeas, herbs, and vegetables will give your fritters the best flavor. Make sure your chickpeas are well-soaked before cooking. You can soak them overnight in water or for at least 4 hours.
- Don't over-mash the chickpeas: You want the fritters to have some texture, so don't mash the chickpeas until they are completely smooth. Leave some small chunks of chickpeas so that the fritters have a nice bite.
- Use a good quality oil for frying: A high-heat oil like canola or vegetable oil is best for frying the fritters. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters, or they will absorb too much oil and become greasy. A good temperature is about 375°F (190°C) for deep frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fritters, don't overcrowd the pan or they will not cook evenly. Fry the fritters in batches if necessary.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels: After frying, drain the fritters on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters hot: Chickpea fritters are best served hot, with the sweet and spicy sauce. You can also serve them with yogurt, hummus, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Chickpea fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. The fritters are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The sweet and spicy sauce is the perfect complement to the fritters. These fritters are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these chickpea fritters a try!
