ingredients
- 1 (400 g) can chickpeas
- 1⁄4 cup coriander, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup parsley, chopped

- 1 dash pepper (to taste)
directions
- Throw the onion and garlic (peeled!) in a food processor until they're chopped.
- Drain chickpeas and give them a wash, then add them to food processor. Pulse until mashed -- but not to mushy!
- Scrape the onion/garlic/chickpeas mix into a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients.
- Mix until completly blended.
- The mix should be thick but not too stiff.
- Grease a non-stick pan and drop mixture in tablespoon sized 'blobs' into the pan.
- Cook on each side for a few minutes -- until browned and slightly crunchy- then flip.
- Continue until all mix is cooked.
- ENJOY!
- P.S: the final product will be a bit crumbly but it doesn't matter -- they're so delicious!

I love cooking! Like seriously it's become quite an obsession...:S
Oh well, it's alot better than most things one could get hooked on. At least I'm keeping my friends and family happy :D
I'm really concerned about health 'and stuff' so I will modify any recipe to make it low fat/low sugar/high fibre etc. Sometimes it works whilst keeping the taste, sometimes it doesn't. I guess I'm just gonna keep trying until I can make every recipe something you won't feel guilty about eating...
Oh yea, I prefer using my microwave especially for baking, even though it's not even a microwave OVEN!
