Chickpea “Latkes”
- Take 2 cans chickpeas and have them drained,rinsed, and dried super well. Pulse with 1/2 an onion diced, 3 cloves garlic, good handful parsley, salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and 1 tsp baking powder super gently in the blender because you don’t want super mush you want texture. Ladle into a greased skillet and pan sear about 5 mins per side or until golden and crisp.
Shawarma Chicken
- Sprinkle chicken with shawarma spice (or cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, Chile powder, salt) drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, and bake on 375 about 40 minutes or until cooked through. You can use two forks to “shred” or simply cut up into small pieces so they can go atop the latkes.
Notes
- Top with salad, roasted eggplant, tahini, sliced pickles, or whatever else your heart desires.
