Preparation of Chickpea and Carrot Patties

• Let’s see how to prepare the patties.

  First of all, clean and wash the carrots, cut them into small pieces, and cook them in a saucepan with water. When it comes to a boil, cook for 10 minutes. Clean the onion and slice it. In a pan, add a drizzle of oil and then sauté the onion. Drain the chickpeas and carrots, add them to the pan, and sauté for 6/7 minutes to flavor everything. Once done, put everything in an immersion blender cup and blend; I left some small pieces as well. If it seems too dry, add a little water, but remember that the mixture has no eggs and must stay together, so don’t overdo it with the water. Pour into a bowl, adjust salt and pepper, chop a bunch of parsley and add to the mixture, then start adding some breadcrumbs. With your hands, take a little mixture and work it until forming balls; I made them large, but you can easily make them smaller. Once you have prepared them all, roll them in breadcrumbs, and your patties are ready. Now, you decide how to cook them: you can put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with a drizzle of oil and bake them at 350°F until the desired golden-brown color or fry them until the desired golden-brown color.
