I like taste of Falafels but for me they are a little dry, I feel the need to break/crumble them up and smother them in Tzatziki, yoghurt or mayo. This is my version that is thinner and no so dry, a great quick snack or as a meal.
Chickpea Patties

Instructions
- Drain chick peas then blitz with harissa and egg in a bullet or food processor.
- Empty blitzed chickpeas into a bowl then blend in other ingredients.
- Heat oil in a frying pan (about 3/4 heat)
- Form mixture into rounds about golf ball size. And place into the frying pan then flatten to desired thickness.

Notes
I make these in batches and freeze, they don't take long to defrost, alternatively will last a couple of days in the fridge in a sealed container.
These are the vegetables I use as I always have them on hand but there is no reason you can't mix your favourite combo.
Crumb them if you wish for a crunchy outside.
Another easy recipe to play with and make your own.
