Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse together chickpeas, scallions, and cilantro until a coarse paste forms. Pulse in flour, egg, and salt. Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add chickpea mixture to skillet, 1/4 cup at a time, pressing to form patties. Cook until golden brown on both sides, turning once, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.
CHICKPEA FRITTERS - ANCIENT EGYPTIAN
Ancient Egyptians, using available cooking oil and forgetting the Tabasco sauce and butter spray, might have enjoyed a very similar fried treat. Before serving you may use a spray butter topping on them if you like.

Steps:
- Put all the ingredients except the oils in a food processor and pulse until just combined; do not over mix.
- Remove the blade and, using a measuring spoon, scoop out level tablespoons of the mixture onto a plate covered with wax paper or coated with butter spray until you have approximately 30 little balls. Can be prepared up until this point and refrigerated until dinner time.
- Warm the combination of sunflower and canola oil in a deep fryer (recommended) or in a heavy skillet. One at a time, drop 10 of the chick pea balls into the oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes, until they're golden brown and nice and crisp on the outside.
- Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate and keep warm in a 250 degree oven while you repeat the process two more times. Spray the fritters with butter topping and serve.
