Crispy Cajun Chickpea Cakes (Vegan) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1 stalk celery, diced
1 (28 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon hot sauce (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
salt and pepper
oil (for frying)

Preparation

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Saute onion, green pepper, and celery for 5-7 mins, until softened. Remove from heat.
Place chickpeas in a food processor along with the onion mixture. Pulse until chickpeas are no longer whole, but don't process them too much. Place chickpeas in a bowl and add spices, hot sauce, and parsley. Mix well. Add flour and cornstarch and mix well. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a frying pan over med/med-hi heat (around 350 degrees). Shape chickpea mixture into 12 patties and fry in batches, about 2-3 mins per side, or until crispy and browned. Flip a few times if they are browning too quickly.
