Oats provide fiber and can be a healthier binding option.

chickpea flour

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: jalapeños

Bell peppers add sweetness and color without heat.

Thaw frozen chard leaves and squeeze out excess liquid.

Pulse chard leaves in a food processor until finely chopped.

In a mixing bowl, add 2 eggs and 4-5 ounces of feta cheese, breaking it into the leaves.

Add 1/2 cup of matzo meal, salt, and black pepper; mix until combined.

Check the consistency of the mixture; add more matzo meal if too runny.

Heat olive oil in a pan to cover the bottom.

Use two spoons to form and lower patties into the hot oil.

Fry patties for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove patties and place on a cooling rack.

In a pot, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and add minced garlic; cook until slightly brown.

Add 1.5 cups of chicken stock, 2 cups of chopped cilantro, and juice of 2 lemons; mix well.

Bring to a boil and add the fried patties to the sauce.

Let the sauce reduce for about 10-15 minutes while the patties cook.

Serve patties over cooked rice with sauce on top.
