  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Put the chickpeas in a bowl with hot water and some salt and leave for one night (12 hours) to rise.
  2. Boil until tender.
  3. Drain in a colander and then blend (with a fork or in a blender).
  4. In a large bowl, add the puree of chickpeas and all remaining ingredients except from the breadcrumbs.
  5. Mix well and slowly add the breadcrumbs until you can shape the mixture.
  6. Fry in hot oil on all sides until golden brown.
  7. Place the chickpeas balls on kitchen paper to remove the excess oil and serve.

If you do not have time to shape them, you can go to the stage of frying, and with a tablespoon add to the pan as many spoonfuls of the mixture fit.
