Total time:
You need
- 1 can chickpeas
- ½ cup walnuts
- 2 tsp curry powder
- salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup bread crumbs (gluten free, if you like)
- 55gr (more or less) Vegusto, piquant, grated - or another spicy cheeze
- 60gr red onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup non dairy milk, optional
- about 2-3 tbsp spelt or wheat flour, depending how moist the mixture is - optional
To do
- preheat oven to 200C (392F)
- place chickpeas and walnuts in your food processor and mix
- add curry powder, salt, bread crumbs and run machine
- slowly add oil
- you want to end up with a mixture that is firm enough to make balls of; if too thick, add some non dairy milk, if a tad too moist, add the flour
- now roll the balls and place on an oven rack with baking paper
- bake for about 25 minutes or until the outside is crisp - then they're done!
- serve with any sauce you like 🙂
Notes
If you want to make them spicy, add chilli powder to the mixture.
