Chickpea Patties with Garlic Dill Yogurt Sauce
Description
This recipe features coarsely mashed chickpeas mixed with ground cumin, freshly ground black pepper, salt, minced green onions, minced garlic, egg, and flour to bind the mixture. The patties are pan-fried in neutral oil to develop a crisp, golden exterior while maintaining a tender, dough-like interior.
The accompaniment is a garlic dill yogurt sauce blending Greek yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice, fresh dill, minced garlic, and sea salt. This sauce adds brightness and herbaceous freshness that complements the earthiness of the chickpea patties.
Serving these patties warm with the sauce offers a combination of creamy and crispy textures, making them suitable as a vegetarian main dish or appetizer. The patties fry quickly, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Cooling the cooked patties on a wire rack instead of paper towels prevents sogginess by allowing excess oil to drain without trapping it underneath.
Ingredients
Dill-Garlic Yogurt Sauce
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about ½ a lemon)
- 2 tablespoon dill minced, fresh
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
Chickpea Patties
- 12 oz chickpeas or freshly prepared, drained, canned
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 green onions (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour or chickpea flour
- ¼ cup grapeseed oil (or other neutral oil, for frying)
Instructions
Dill-Garlic Yogurt Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and sea salt until well combined. Set aside.
Chickpea Patties
- Drain canned chickpeas and gently dry them with a kitchen towel. Transfer them to a large bowl and mash them coarsely using a potato masher or mortar.
- To the mashed chickpeas, add cumin, black pepper, salt, green onions, garlic, flour, and egg. Use a fork to mix until all ingredients are evenly combined. Then, lightly knead the mixture with your hands until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chickpea mixture into the hot oil, then use the back of the spoon to shape it into a rough patty. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining chickpea mixture, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serve the chickpea patties with the prepared dill-garlic yogurt sauce.
Notes
- Cool cooked patties on a wire rack to avoid sogginess from excess oil absorbed on paper towels.
