Bama Bbq Chickpea Fritters Recipe

Prepare the mixture

In a large bowl, combine the smoked chickpeas, Carolina Gold rice, quinoa, all-purpose flour, green onions, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form the fritters

Take a portion of the mixture and form it into small patties or fritters.

Fry the fritters

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the fritters until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Cook the rice and quinoa

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add Carolina Gold rice and quinoa, stir for a minute. Pour in vegetable broth and salt, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until grains are cooked, about 15-20 minutes.

Mix the salad

In a bowl, combine diced heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh basil. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss well to combine.

Make the sauce

In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
