Ingredients

Instructions

Soak chickpeas overnight.
Boil chickpeas in a large pot with the potato.
When chickpeas are soft, strain, and remove skins.
Put chickpeas and potato in a food processor until smooth. Add a tablespoon or so of water to the food processor to make it process better but keep it to a minimum.
Add salt and pepper if desired. Chill paste.
Put onions in a large non-stick pot and add a tablespoon of water, turn to medium heat and cover. Stir onions every few minutes until they reduce to about ¼ of their original volume.
To the onions, add the tahini, currants, pine nuts, and cinnamon.
Check the sweetness to be sweet but not too much and add a 1-2 tablespoons of sugar if you like.
Put some paste in the palm of your hand and pat flat. This will be the outside casing of the ball. Place a tablespoon of onion mix in the center and fold the paste up and round it. Roll into a ball. Wrap each one tightly in saran wrap and chill.
To serve, bring balls to room temperature, remove saran wrap and serve drizzled with lemon juice and garnished with parsley.
