Mini Chickpea Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line muffin tins with 12 paper baking cups. Place a vanilla wafer in each one.
• In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice, and sugar. Beat until smooth and thoroughly combined.
• Fill each baking cup 2/3 full with cream cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on a rack. Top with fruit pie filling. Pipe whipped cream or sweetened cream cheese into a rosette on top of each cheesecake just prior to serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Blend chickpeas together in a food processor or blender until they turn into a paste; transfer to a bowl. Mix onion, 1/4 cup parsley, eggs, salt, black pepper, and thyme into chickpeas paste. Add 1/2 of the oats and 1/2 of the bread crumbs.
• Spread the remaining oats and bread crumbs onto a plate.
• Form chickpea mixture into patties; press into oat-bread crumb mixture into completely coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add patties and cook until patties are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Mix crab meat, mayonnaise, celery seed, sugar, and paprika together in a bowl until crab salad is well mixed.
• Place a bed of lettuce on a serving plate; top with chickpea patties. Spoon crab salad on top of each patty.

Steps:

• Crumble baked potato; discard skin.
• Saute' onion and spices with 2 T olive oil.
• Combine with the potato and gradually add chickpea flour.
• Adjust seasoning as necessary.
• Form into patties and saute with a little olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mash chickpeas coarsely in medium bowl with hand potato masher.
• Stir in carrots, bread crumbs, salad dressing and egg; mix well.
• Shape chick pea mixture into small patties using about 1 tbsp mixture for each.
• Place on baking sheet.
• Bake 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through baking time until lightly browned on both sides.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, followed by the onion. Saute for 5 minutes, until soft, then add the garlic, jalapeño, coriander, cumin, mint, turmeric, and cayenne, and sauté for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the chickpeas. Let cool.
• Put the mixture in a food processor and pulse until the chickpeas are broken down, but the mixture still has texture. Fold in the salt, egg, and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs. Refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes so it can firm up and cool completely, making it easier to form into patties.
• Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs onto a plate. Form 3 tablespoons of the mixture into a ball. Flatten the ball against your palm, shaping it into a cake. Dredge the cake in the bread crumbs. Heat a skillet with 1/4 inch of olive oil. When the oil is hot, drop in several cakes and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a wire cooling rack. If you prefer to bake the cakes, preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the cakes on an oiled, parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each one with a little olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cakes are brown on top and crisp. Serve hot.
