Chickpea-Couscous Croquettes


Submitted by bombshelle15

Makes 8 servings

Savory, veggie croquettes. Serve with Sauce Bourguignonne.

Ingredients
535 g chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup uncooked couscous
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
3 tbsp parsley, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
  1. Grind the chickpeas in a food processor/Vitamix until well chopped.

  2. In a medium pot, combine the couscous, tomato juice and red wine. Bring to a boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed. Let sit for 5 minutes.

  3. Add the couscous mixture to the chickpeas along with the remaining ingredients except the oil. Mix until smooth, stopping the processor/Vitamix once or twice to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula (or use the tamper with the Vitamix).

  4. Lightly oil your hands. Shape 2 or 3 tbsps of the mixture into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture until you have 24 balls. Flatten the balls to form patties about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

  5. Brush (or spray with a Misto) the croquettes with olive oil and place them on a lightly oiled baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the croquettes over, brush with oil and bake 10 - 12 minutes more.
