Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

3 fresh chile peppers -- stemmed, seeded, minced

2 medium garlic cloves -- minced

4 cups cooked chickpeas

or two 19-ounce cans -- drained, rinsed

1/2 small red bell pepper -- stemmed, seeded, minced

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup fresh whole grain breadcrumbs

SALSA:

1 kiwi fruit -- peeled, diced

1 ripe papaya -- peeled, seeded, diced

1/2 cup diced pineapple

2 teaspoons lime juice

FRYING:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

 

1. Combine chiles and garlic in large bowl; transfer 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture

to medium bowl.

 

2. Add chickpeas, red pepper, 2 tablespoons cilantro, cumin, turmeric and salt

to the LARGE bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash mixture until it forms a

coarse paste, about 2 minutes. Stir in breadcrumbs.

 

3. Add kiwi fruit, papaya, pineapple, lime juice and remaining cilantro to the

MEDIUM bowl with remaining chile-garlic mixture. Toss to combine.

 

4. Using your hands, shape chickpea mixture into 8 patties. Heat oil in large

nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add patties and cook for

approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and heated through. To

serve, place two patties on each plate and serve with a portion of salsa. Serve

immediately.

NOTES : Since not all chiles are created equal, take care when choosing your

form of fire. Jalapenos tend to be the mildest, while habaneros will likely send

you running for cover. These patties are best eaten hot, as they can crumble

when refrigerated.
