Fried Chickpea Patties With Sesame Seed Sauce – Revithokeftedes me Tahini Saltsa


This is Fried Chickpea Patties with Sesame Seed Sauce or Revithokeftedes me Tahini Saltsa in Greek. According to my son, having the patties with the sauce reminds him of Hummus! To a large extent, his assessment is correct, as all the ingredients used are identical. It is sort of like eating a deconstructed Hummus. The patties do taste really good with the sesame seed sauce. Try it!

  8. Made these last night and must say they were the hit of the dinner. However I opted to not make the sauce, instead using the extra juice from the bacon wrapped chicken and it worked very well. Actually these little patties worked quite well with no sauce at all.

  9. We've made these a few times now, and have played with the recipe a bit but am still having problems with the patties not getting solid enough. I drain the peas real well, and I've used just egg yolk instead of the whole egg, but yet it still is very loose in the pan. Taste is great, just can't seem to get the patties to stay together fully.

    Any thoughts?

  10. @Mike: Perhaps you can use extra chickpeas or gently roll the patties with the flour. Then put some flour onto your palm and gently toss the patties between your palms before frying them. That's how I usually do when the patties is too soft or wet. Hope this method works for you.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
