Harvesting from the garden can be so much fun! But what to do with it all!  This simple vegetarian  recipe is light and delicious and uses lots of veggies and herbs!   Serve with tzatziki and pitas.  I got this recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks “Spilling the Beans”.

Recipe

2 cups (19-ounce) can drained chickpeas

1 small onion chopped

2-4 garlic cloves, peeled

2 Tbsps. chopped parsley

2 Tbsps. chopped cilantro

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. sea salt

pinch of dried red chili flakes

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp. baking powder

Olive oil for frying

Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor except for the oil.  Form dough into small to medium size patties and heat oil on griddle.  Sear the patties and cook until golden brown on both sides.  Serve on pitas with tzatziki, chopped cucumber, red onion and tomatoes.
