Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a large tray with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Pulse the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, spices, salt, lemon zest and juice in a food processor until chunky, not smooth. Stir in the chickpea flour.

  3. 3

    Shape into 4 thick patties. Chill for 15 minutes so they hold together.
