Crispy Chickpea Cakes With Zucchini Ribbon Salad And Yogurt-tahini Sauce
  1. FOR THE YOGURT-TAHINI SAUCE: Whisk all ingredients in bowl until smooth. Season with salt to taste. Refrigerate until needed. (Sauce can be made 24 hours in advance.)

  2. FOR THE ZUCCHINI-SALAD: Whisk mint, oil, lemon juice, yogurt, and honey together in medium bowl. Add zucchini ribbons and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with olives and refrigerate until needed.

  3. FOR THE CHICKPEA-CAKES: Process cilantro, onion, coriander, cumin, salt, baking powder, and cayenne in food processor for 5 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl. Continue to process until mixture resembles pesto, about 5 seconds longer. Add egg and process for 5 seconds. Add chickpeas and flour and pulse 4 times. Scrape down sides of bowl. Continue to pulse until chickpeas are coarsely chopped and flour is fully incorporated, about 4 more pulses.

  4. Spray rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Remove food processor blade and, using ½ cup measure, drop 6 even portions (about scant ½ cup each) onto prepared sheet. Gently shape into patties about 3 inches in diameter.

  5. Line cutting board with single layer of paper towels. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Using thin spatula, transfer patties to skillet. Cook for 4 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low; cover; and continue to cook until tops are firm to touch and patties register 185 degrees, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer patties to prepared board, browned side down. Invert cakes to browned side up and serve with sauce and salad.
