Ingredients
- 1 slice small wholemeal bread
- 1 cup x 400g tin chickpeas 240g when drained, or ~1, drained
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 60 g crumbled feta cheese ~1/2 cup
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Spray oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F), and lightly spray a baking tray with oil.
- Add the slice of bread to a food processor, and blitz into breadcrumbs. Add the drained chickpeas, and blitz again until smooth (or slightly chunky if you prefer).
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and add the chopped parsley, crumbled feta, and lemon juice, along with some salt and pepper. Mix well.
- With clean hands, form the mixture into balls. I made 8, but this will depend on the exact size you make them.
- Place the balls on the baking tray, and spray lightly with oil. Bake for around 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are crispy and fairly firm.
