Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Take 1 tablespoon of mixture, roll into a ball, and coat with panko bread crumbs. Place on a plate. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Step 2
Heat remaining olive oil (about 1 inch) in a deep skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry bites until crispy golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Place garbanzo beans, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, onion, egg, parsley, curry powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, and pepper into a food processor or blender. Puree until coarse, adding bread crumbs if needed as you don't want mixture too moist.
Ingredients
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons dried parsley

1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 cup olive oil, divided, or more as needed
0.5 tablespoon ground black pepper
