About 1/3 C. very thick tomato sauce

1 egg

A few T. heavy cream, but you could use bean broth or stock

Cumin to taste (I used quite a bit, a T. probably)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 C. all-purpose flour

Oil to cook the garlic and to fry the patties.  I used olive oil

 

Heat 1 T. oil in a small pan and sauté the garlic for a few minutes.  Add the tomato sauce and cook a few minutes more. Add the sauce mix, the chickpeas, egg, cumin, flour, and cream to a food processor.  Process until the chickpeas are pureed with the other ingredients.  Add salt and pepper if you wish. I didn’t.  Wet your hands and form the puree into rough patties and drop them gently into a non-stick skillet with about an inch of hot oil.  It took me about 2 minutes per side to cook the pancakes.  Drain them ion paper towels and serve with whatever you like–cheese, sour cream, tomato sauce, etc.
