Arabian Nights.

Wonder lamps.

Djinn.

And the perfect food for reading the Arabian Nights? Falafel? That’s an old hat! Here’s chickpea fingers! They are similar to Falafel, but a perfect finger food. So you have one hand for turning the pages and the other one for eating chickpea fingers. (Btw, I really recommend reading that book… now during the cold season, with a candle… wonderful)

Chickpeas, aromatic spices and parsley… it makes a wonderful flavor and it’s easy to make!

And what about a yogurt dip on the side, or maybe even mango chutney…?

Djinn’s magic Chickpea Fingers

  • 2 cups chickpeas, cooked and drained (or use canned)
  • 2 tbsp soy flour
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch of  parsley, chopped
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • garlic to taste
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • coconut oil

Mix all the ingredients except the parsley in your food processor or blender (I used the vita-mix with a tamper) until combined. Fill into a bowl and fold in the parsley.
Now take some dough and form the chickpea fingers. They should be about finger-size (surprise, surprise!). Heat the oil in a pan (medium heat) and fry the chickpea fingers until they have a nice brown crust. Enjoy with some salad and a dip on the side!

Note: The recipe seems to work better with cooked (not canned) chickpeas. However, if you want to use canned, add an additional 2-3 tbsp of flour and take care that you chop the onion really fine!

Djinn – approved.

They are perfect for a party, as chickpea fingers are a nice finger food! And they are healthier than deep fried falafel…

What else could you wish for? ;)
