Soutzoukakia with chickpeas

Soutzoukakia are Greek meatballs in tomato sauce. I tried this variation when I had leftover chickpea soup and it was delicious.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

1 1/2 cup

chickpeas without their skins (either soaked overnight or leftover chickpea soup)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Strain the chickpeas, blend the onions in a food processor, add the chickpeas and continue blending. Add the cumin, the salt and the pepper. Mix and then add the egg, the flour, the oil and finely the parsley.

* Step 2

Form small soutzoukakia (a kind of oblong shape, not round), coat in flour and place in the freezer for 30' to allow them to get firm.

* Step 3

Sauté the onion in the oil, add the garlic, the tomatoes, the wine and 1 cup water, salt, pepper, sugar, oregano, cumin and allow the sauce to simmer.

* Step 4

Sauté the soutzoukakia in 1 tbsp oil (I just grilled them for a while) and then add them to the sauce and simmer for 45' adding a little water if necessary.
