Fried Chickpeas with Zucchini and Yoghurt
Servings:2
Calories:316kcal
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (1 can = dry weight ca. 265g)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 small zucchini
- ⅖ cup natural yogurt (⅖ cup = 100ml)
- ½ bunch cilantro/coriander, fresh
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain and rinse off the chickpeas, put them in a bowl and add half the olive oil.
- Take your potato masher (or fork if you don’t have one), give the chickpeas a good mashing.
- Heat up a frying pan and fry the chickpeas for about five minutes, until they have some colour. Add the soy sauce and vinegar to chickpeas.
- In the meantime, cut the zucchini into thin slices, sprinkle the rest of the olive oil on them and grill them for a couple of minutes.
- You could also use the same pan once the chickpeas have finished. Chop the coriander and add it to the yoghurt.
- Put the fried chickpeas on a plate, and layer the zucchini over the top.
- Add some salt and pepper to everything and drizzle a little yoghurt over to finish. Enjoy!
Make it vegan
- Use non-dairy yoghurt like soy yoghurt to make it vegan.

Hi, how many servings is this for? Thanks x
Hey! Good question! It makes about two medium servings, I would say perfect as a ‘light’ or ‘weight loss’ lunch. If I’m absolutely starving or have just been to the gym I will eat it all to myself 🙂
Thanks, I had half for breakfast and really enjoyed it.x
Perfect! You’re more than welcome 🙂
