Time 20m

Yield 12 whole turnovers or 24 halves

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 pound ground beef
1/3 cup water
1 cup canned or freshly cooked drained chickpeas
Salt to taste if desired
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
12 prepared raw won ton skins, available in Chinese markets and specialty shops
Oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and add onion. Cook, stirring, until golden brown. Add meat and cook, breaking up lumps with edge of a heavy metal spoon.
  • When meat loses raw look, add the water, stirring. Cook, stirring, until most of liquid evaporates.
  • Spoon meat mixture into a sieve and press to drain off oil.
  • Put chickpeas in container of a food processor or electric blender and grind as fine as possible. Put ground chickpeas in a mixing bowl and add the meat mixture, salt, pepper, garlic powder and coriander. Blend thoroughly.
  • Lay out won ton skins, a few at a time, on flat surface. Rub outer rims with water. Spoon equal portions of meat mixture into center of each. Fold over rims to make triangles, pressing with fingers to seal.
  • Heat oil for deep frying to about 365 degrees. Add turnovers, a few at a time, and cook until golden brown, turning as necessary, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my turnovers turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.
