Steps

1. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then mash them in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
2. Add the cooked quinoa, grated carrot, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, hummus, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix until the mixture holds together. If it's too wet, add a bit more flour.

5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
