SESAME CRUSTED CHICKPEA PATTIES

Steps:

• In a bowl mix all the ingredients except for the sesame seeds.
• Puree the mixture either using a hand held blender or food processor.

• Shape into walnut sized balls and flatten slightly.
• Roll in sesame seeds and put aside.
• Serve with whatever dip you might like or on top of a nice green salad.

CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS WITH SESAME, CUMIN AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread chickpeas out evenly on a sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden in spots, shaking the pan occasionally, about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the chickpeas hang out for another 10 to 15 minutes, checking in occasionally to make sure they do not burn. This will help keep them crunchy for an extended period of time.
• While the chickpeas roast, toast the sesame seeds in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring often so they do not burn, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and wipe out the skillet. Using the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and add the cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sesame seeds back to the skillet and stir together.
• Add the chickpeas directly to the skillet and toss together until everything is well coated. Remove from the heat, stir in lime zest and season well with salt. Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
