Ingredients

1⁄4 cup
diced red pepper
2 cup
cooked chickpeas (or use canned chickpeas)
1⁄2 tsp
salt
1⁄2 tsp
turmeric
1⁄2 tsp
paprika
1⁄2 tsp
cumin
1⁄4 tsp
coriander
1⁄4 tsp
cinnamon
2 clove
minced garlic
3 tbsp
olive oil
2 tbsp
lemon juice
2 1⁄2 cup
cooked brown rice (leftover is best)
1⁄4 cup
minced parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Puree red pepper in a blender or food processor. Set aside.

Combine chickpeas with all of the spices, olive oil and lemon juice in a food processor or by hand. Fold in the rice, red pepper puree and parsley.

Moisten hands to keep mixture from sticking. Shape 17 patties to roughly 1/4-inch thick.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy on the outside.

Notes

Variation: Spray or lightly oil a pan over medium heat. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

If using canned chickpeas, one 15-ounce can contains about 2 cups cooked chickpeas.
