METHOD

1

Crush the base

Mash the chickpeas with a fork in a bowl, leaving plenty of texture. Stir in the chickpea flour, onion, paprika, cumin, parsley and salt.

2

Shape the fritters

Form the mixture into twelve small patties pressed firmly between your palms.

3

Pan-fry

Heat the olive oil in a large pan and fry the fritters for three minutes per side until deeply golden.

4

Whip the dip

Whisk tahini with the lemon juice, two tablespoons of cold water and salt until creamy. Serve alongside the warm fritters.

VEG.ARMY TIP

Add a tablespoon of aquafaba to the mix for fritters that hold together perfectly.
