  • Heat 1 T of oil and saute the onions over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they soften, about 5 min. Add the garlic, cumin, and carrot and saute for 2 more minutes. Transfer to large bowl or food processor and add the chickpeas. Mash or process until mushy. Stir in tahini and parsley. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl, then stir into chickpeas. Flour your hands, shape mixture into four patties, and dust them with flour. Fry in 1 T oil over medium-low heat for 1 min until just beginning to brown. Flip, fry 2 min, flip again, and fry 1 min ( 2 min total per side). Splash with a bit of lemon juice and serve. Top with hummus, baba ganouj, or tahini.
