An unbelievably delicious little appy. I actually made a double batch and could have made more - we ate them like little piggies.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (8 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and mashed with fork
1/3 cup parsley or 1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper, very finely minced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon dried onion, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 teaspoon dried garlic granules
1 egg, beaten to blend
1/4 cup self rising flour
4 ounces cheddar cheese, coarsely-grated
salt and pepper, to taste
oil, for shallow-frying
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
your favorite salsa

Steps:

  • Combine all popper ingredients and knead together until fully combined. (the mixture will be slightly tacky) Shape into walnut-sized balls and flatten slightly between palms of hands.
  • Combine 1/2 cup flour with 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. Dredge the poppers in this mixture, pressing slightly so that sesame seeds adhere.
  • Shallow-fry in skillet, 2 minutes per side, turning over and frying other side when golden. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving alone, or with your favourite salsa.

I like to serve these poppers with a dipping sauce. My favorite is a simple yogurt sauce with a little bit of garlic and herbs.

These poppers are a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can of chickpeas in my pantry, so I can make these poppers whenever I want.

I thought the poppers were a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little bit of oil or butter to the pan before cooking them.

I found that the poppers were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
