1. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large pan, then fry the onion and garlic over a low heat for 5 minutes until softened. ip into a large mixing bowl with the chickpeas and spices then mash together with a fork or potato masher until the chickpeas are totally broken down.
2. Stir in the parsley with seasoning to taste. Add the egg, then squish the mixture together with your hands!

Chef's Tips

I would serve these in pitta bread with some salad and either houmous or tzatiki. Mmmmmmmmm! Also you could add some chilli to give them a bit of a kick!

You could also serve these as part of a mezze.
