Ingredients:
1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight and drained
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons flour
Olive oil for brushing
Directions:
I. Place the soaked chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Pulse until well combined but still slightly coarse.
