Garbanzo Patties

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup scallion, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, chopped

3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 teaspoon cumin

3 Tablespoons Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or Eden Organic Soybean Oil

1/4 teaspoon Eden Sea Salt

15 ounces Eden Organic Garbanzo Beans, 1 can, drained, reserve liquid,

and rinsed

1 cup leftover mashed potatoes, or brown rice

Place the garlic, scallions, onion, parsley, 1 tablespoon of olive oil,

sea salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until the mixture is

finely chopped. Add the garbanzo beans and mashed potatoes. Process

until smooth. The mixture should be stiff. If too stiff, add a small

amount of the reserved garbanzo cooking liquid. Form the mixture into 8

patties approximately 2 inches across.

Place remaining oil in a cast iron skillet and heat up. Place the

patties in the skillet and reduce the flame to medium-low. Cook until

golden brown, flip over and cook the other side until golden brown.

Approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side. Place the patties on a serving

platter and serve.

The patties are delicious served as falafel in warm pita pocket bread

with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber slices and you favorite dressing.
