Chickpea Croquettes With Greek Salad Topping - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Croquettes
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup diced red pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Topping
1 cucumber, quartered and sliced
1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper

Preparation

Whisk together the dry ingredients, then whisk in 3/4 cup hot water. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the batter to the skillet 1/4 cup at a time to form patties. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until they're golden on that side, then flip and cook until they're golden on the other side. You should have enough batter for 8 patties.
Mix the topping ingredients together and serve atop the croquettes. I usually make my topping mixture ahead and chill it because I like the contrast of the chilled topping and the warm croquettes.
