Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sprinkle with the ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook until tender (5-7 minutes).
  3. Add the water and cook until the onion is soft and the water has cooked off (10-12 minutes). Stir in the vinegar and sugar and cook until the vinegar has cooked off (2-3 minutes)
  4. Pulse the chickpeas in a food processor until they form a thick paste. Mix well with the yellow onion and zucchini. Form 10 patties.
  5. Whisk together the garbanzo bean flour and the salt on a large plate. Gently dredge each cake in the flour.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with non-stick cooking spray. Cook cakes 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer the cakes to a baking sheet.
  7. When all the cakes are cooked, bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until dark gold. Serve hot with the red onion jam.
