Instructions

1. 1Wash the 1 bunch Swiss chard, then finely chop it into small pieces.
2. 2Drain the 1 can (about 425 g) cooked chickpeas, then mash them in a bowl until mostly smooth.
3. 3Finely chop the 1/4 medium onion and the 2 cloves garlic.
4. 4In a large bowl, combine the chopped Swiss chard, the mashed chickpeas, the chopped onion, the chopped garlic, the 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs, the 1 large egg, the 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and the 1/2 teaspoon coriander. Add salt and pepper to your preference.
5. 5Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until they form a cohesive mixture that holds together when pressed.
6. 6Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 175°C.
7. 7Shape the mixture into small patties, about 5.08 cm in diameter. Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until the fritters are golden brown and appear cooked through. You can tell they are done when they feel firm to the touch and are a deep golden color.
8. 8Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the fritters warm.
