-------- ------------ --------------------------------

30 ounces canned chickpeas -- rinsed

1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves

2 medium garlic cloves -- peeled

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin -- or more to taste

1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

salt

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

8 cups packed arugula leaves

2 tablespoons lemon juice

 

1. Place chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and hot red pepper flakes in work

bowl of food processor. Process, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until

smooth. Scrape mixture into medium bowl and stir in flour and salt to taste.

Shape mixture into eight 3-inch patties.

 

2. Heat oil in nonstick skillet large enough to hold patties in single layer.

Add patties and saute over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 6

minutes.

 

3. While patties are cooking, place arugula in medium bowl, drizzle with lemon

juice, sprinkle with salt to taste, and toss gently. Divide arugula among 4

individual plates.

 

4. Once patties are cooked, place 2 on each plate on top of salad and serve

immediately.

NOTES : Chickpeas are especially popular in southern Italy. They are often

ground with spices and herbs and turned into little patties. Here, I saute the

patties in olive oil and serve them over arugula.
