Chickpea balls from Ios with yoghurt-mint dip

Ingredients

(For 4 servings)

300gr cooked chickpeas

2 medium onions, finely chopped

100gr flour

2-3 scallions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)

2-3 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

½ stalk of mint, finely chopped

Dried breadcrumbs

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

For the dip:

200gr DELTA Complet Family Yoghurt 10%

2 tablespoon olive oil

½ stalk of mint, finely chopped

In a food processor, beat the chickpeas until a thick purée is obtained.

Add the flour, onions, scallions, parsley, mint, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil, and beat again until they’re mixed well.

Knead the mix, cover, and let it rest to allow the aromas to blend.

Form the dough into balls and roll them in the breadcrumbs, making sure their entire surface is covered.

Fry them in hot oil until golden-brown.

Mix the yoghurt with the olive oil and mint.

Serve the chickpea balls with the dip.
