Spiced Chickpea and Parsley Patties (v)

Have you noticed I like Middle Eastern food?! Another gorgeous recipe here :) this time based on one by Ghillie Basan.

For about 8 patties you need
1 tin drained chickpeas
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, finely diced
large handful parsley, finely chopped
2 tsp each of ground cumin and corriander
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper
grated zest of a lemon

Whizz the chickpeas in a blender till smashed then tip into a bowl and add everything else. Squish together to form patties and lay on a greased baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 5 mins each side before serving with a selection of other mezze (we had olives, houmous, pitta, tapenade, tabouleh, tomatoes, garlic yogurt etc).
