Spinach and Garbanzo Fritters (Vegetarian)

Found another new and yummy recipe! This one I actually found in a magazine given to me by another flight attendant. It's got a lot of great things in it, and is a perfect snack. It is also very filling.

For the dipping sauce:

1 c. plain Greek yogurt

1/4 c. chopped cucumber

2 tbl. minced onion

2 large garlic cloves, minced

1 tbl. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 tbl. finely chopped parsley

Mix all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate.

For the fritters:

2 15 oz. cans Garbanzo beans, drained

1 c. fresh spinach leaves

1/2 yellow onion, diced

3 tbl. all-purpose flour

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. ground sage

1/4 tsp. coriander

Canola or vegetable oil

Place all ingredients except oil in a food processor. Puree until smooth and transfer to a mixing bowl. 

In a medium sauce pan, heat about 1/2 inch of oil. Shape batter into balls and place in oil. Flip after about 2 minutes or until browned, and lightly press down, forming into discs. Place on a paper towel lined plate to drain, and lightly salt. Serve with yogurt dipping sauce. 

If you're taking these on a trip, I suggest lining your container with a paper towel so they don't get soggy. Also, if you're reheating, I don't recommend covering the fritters. This will keep them crispier! Enjoy!
