INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup canned black beans (drained)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup chickpea flour

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 tsp olive oil

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, rinse and mash the black beans until mostly smooth with a few chunks remaining for texture.

• 2

  In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, chickpea flour, nonfat Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, and garlic powder until a smooth batter forms.

• 3

  Fold the mashed black beans and crumbled feta cheese into the batter along with the chopped parsley and cilantro, mixing until well combined.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop portions of the fritter mixture and pat them into small patties.

• 5

  Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning.

• 6

  Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil and serve warm.
