Report
Chickpea fritters are salty, slightly spicy, and crispy, paired with a sweet and spicy jalapeño raspberry sauce that pairs wonderfully to bring out all the unique flavors!

Ingredients
JALAPENO RASPBERRY SAUCE:
- 2 cups raspberries frozen
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons jalapeño finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon sea salt coarse
CHICKPEA FRITTERS:
- 1 15- oz. chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 jalapeño seeds and ribs removed, small
- 1/2 /2 cup yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 /2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon sea salt coarse
- 1 egg slightly whisked
- olive oil for pan frying
Instructions
- Jalapeño Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally as raspberries begin to break apart. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce begins to stick to the back of a spoon; remove from heat and let rest for at least 8-10 minutes to thicken. Store in an airtight container.
- Chickpea Fritters: In a food processor, add chickpeas, jalapeno, onion, and garlic. Pulse several times until a coarse mixture forms. Add bread crumbs and salt, pulse an additional 2-3 times until combined. Stir in egg (I like to do this in a separate bowl so it is thoroughly mixed). Form 6 patties by taking 1/4 cup of the mixture and molding into a disc shape with your hands.
- Coat the bottom of a cast iron skillet (or skillet of choice) with a layer of olive oil, about 1/2 - 1 inch in pan. Heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the fritters, being sure to not crowd the pan. I usually cook 3-4 at a time. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and let drain a bit on a paper towel as desired. Serve immediately with sauce.
Notes
- These aren't crazy spicy, so leave in some jalapeño seeds or add more if you like super spicy recipes!
- The fritters reheat best when refried on the stove top - even without oil - the microwave does make them a bit soggy. Best when none are leftover ;)
