preparation
Instructions
1. In a food processor, blend all ingredients and slowly pulse in flour until chickpeas form and hold shape. Don’t overmix or fritters will be dense.
2. Scoop into 1-ounce balls and slightly flatten.
3. In a large pan, coat the bottom with canola oil and sear each fritter until golden brown on each side. Finish in the oven until the temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Start with 1 toasted sub roll and spread 1 tablespoon of aioli on each side. Add 1 leaf of green leaf lettuce. Place 2 slices of tomato. Top with 1 1/2 ounces of cucumber slaw. Add 3 chickpea fritters.
