These soft low-fat chickpea patties are delicious in a whole-wheat pita or with a green salad.

Ingredients:
4 tsp canola oil, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 15.5-ounce can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tsp cumin
1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 egg white
1/4 cup flour

For the Dressing:
1 5.3-ounce pot fat-free Greek yogurt
2 tsp lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Preparation:
In a small skillet, heat 2 tsp oil and gently sauté onion and garlic over low-medium heat.

Empty chickpeas into a medium bowl with cumin and chopped parsley.

Mash with a fork to a coarse texture. Stir in onions and garlic. Add egg white and combine.

Form 4 soft patties. Sprinkle flour on a plate, dip both sides of each patty with flour.

Heat remaining oil in a large skillet and sauté chickpea patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden.

Combine yogurt with lemon juice, and season with a little black pepper if desired.

Serve one patty per person with a green salad or a whole-wheat pita, and one-fourth of the dressing.
