The day before, place the chickpeas in a bowl filled with water. Let them soak overnight. The next day, drain the chickpeas, rinse them, and place them in a blender bowl.

2

Add the red onion and coarsely chopped garlic. Add the parsley leaves, flour, olive oil, and spices. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until a paste is formed. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then shape into balls.
