These dijon chickpea fritters are pretty straightforward to make. Just mash up your chickpeas with some onions and garlic. Add a bunch of dijon mustard, an egg, and a little flour to help bind the fritters together, and throw them in a hot pan with canola oil. Once you’ve got them browned on both sides, top them with the simple aioli.

Crisp and flavored with Dijon, garlic, and onions, fry up these fritters now and douse them in the addictive harissa sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ½ medium yellow onion, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 23 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • canola oil
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash chickpeas with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher until they are completely broken down. Add onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined. Add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until there is no visible liquid but it is still relatively wet.
