Instructions
- Mash chick peas in large bowl with potato masher until no large pieces are left. (Chick peas should not be smooth like hummus). Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 mL) parsley, Knorr® Vegetable Dry Soup Mix, egg and cumin. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, cucumber, remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) parsley, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Oil and lemon juice in medium bowl. Season to taste, if desired, with salt and pepper.
- Shape chick pea mixture into 24 (2 inch/5 cm X 1/2-inch/1.5 cm thick)patties. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 mL) oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook 8 patties, gently turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat twice using 2 tablespoons Oil (30 mL) per batch. Serve salad and falafel, if desired, with warm whole wheat pita bread and tzaziki sauce.
- Tip: Stir toasted pieces of pita bread into the Salad to make a traditional Fattoush.
Chick peas help to boost protein and iron in any dish. So be sure to keep them always on hand in the cupboard.
