Chickpea and spinach fritters with tzatziki

Chickpea and spinach fritters with tzatziki are a delicious and healthy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. These fritters are made with a combination of chickpeas, spinach, and a variety of spices, and are served with a creamy tzatziki sauce that perfectly complements their flavor.

To make these fritters, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- Oil for frying

For the tzatziki sauce, you will need:

- 1 cup of Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup of grated cucumber
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, combine the chickpeas, spinach, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until well combined. Add the egg and pulse again until the mixture is smooth.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a spoon, drop the chickpea mixture into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
To make the tzatziki sauce, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
Serve the chickpea and spinach fritters with the tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping. These fritters are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a delicious blend of spices and flavors that will leave you wanting more.
