SLIDER PATTIES PREPARATION

In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, green onions, parsley, salt and pepper until chickpeas are chunky, but broken down. Add tuna, egg, mayonnaise and process until smooth, scraping down the sides, if needed. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop balls of mixture and drop onto a parchment lined sheet tray. Push down to form a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture and place in refrigerator to firm up, about 30 minutes.

In a large skillet, on medium high heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil. When oil is hot, add tuna patties and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown. Cook patties in batches, if needed.

AIOLI PREPARATION

In a food processor, add all ingredients for aioli. Process until smooth. Refrigerated until ready to use. Will keep for 5-6 days in the refrigerator.
