Ingredients

¼ cup chopped onion

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon ground coriander

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 egg, beaten

2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

 Step 1

Wrap onion in cheese cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside. Place garbanzo beans, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and baking soda in a food processor. Process until the mixture is coarsely pureed. Mix garbanzo bean mixture and onion together in a bowl. Stir in the flour and egg. Shape mixture into four large patties and let stand for 15 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

 Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.

 Step 4

Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes.
