Print Recipe

An Italian spin on a Middle Eastern dish. This is the perfect recipe for meal prepping  and freezing to re-heat later. It’s a lunch favorite!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 white onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes in olive oil
  • 1/4 kalamata olives
  • 2 cans chickpeas drained & rinsed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 Tbs lemon juice
  • 8–10 large basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup blanched almond flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 415 degrees F. After onion is chopped, sauté over medium heat until translucent. Pour a splash of water over onion to de-glaze the pan if needed.
  2. Once onion is cooked & cooled add to food processor along with 1 can of chickpeas, sundried tomatoes, olives, salt, oregano, & lemon juice. Pulse in food processor until ingredients are combined & chickpeas are ground.
  3. Add the 2nd can of chickpeas & almond flour. Pulse on low in order to keep some of the chickpeas whole.
  4. Chop 8-10 fresh basil leaves & add to food processor. Pulse on low just a few times to combine.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper & spray lightly with coconut or avocado oil.
  6. Use a retractable ice cream scoop to spoon mixture onto baking sheet. After all the mixture is on the baking sheet, press lightly onto each scoop to flatten. Bake for 25 minutes.
