Greek Chickpea Patties with Tomato Sauce €“ Revithosoutzoukakia

Yield: About 20 patties

Ingredients

For the Patties
3 cups boiled chickpeas (canned or boiled from dry)
1 medium tomato
½ cup parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for frying
¼ cup water
½ cup all purpose flour (or more as needed) plus more for coating
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper

For the sauce
2 teaspoons tomato paste
½ cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon sugar
Salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

In a food processor mix the chickpeas and tomato, do not over mix,
the mixture should be grainy.
Add the garlic, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, water, salt,
pepper and baking soda and blend. Again do not over mix.
Place the mixture in a bowl (dough will be very sticky) and add
flour, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time. Knead with your hands, the dough
should be soft but firm enough to shape into patties.
Roll into balls , flattening them a bit, using about 2 teaspoons of
the mixture for each patty. Coat with the flour.
Heat olive oil in a pan (oil should be about ¼ inch deep in the pan).
Fry the patties about 2 minutes on each side.
Remove and place on paper towels to absorb any oil and set aside.
Begin the sauce by heating the tomato paste, olive oil and water
along with the sugar, salt and pepper in pan, let it come to a boil and
then lower the heat.
Add the chickpea patties to the sauce and spoon the sauce gently
over the patties.
Heat for a 1-2 more minutes and serve.
