Clean, wash and very finely chop the spring onions. Peel garlic and chop very finely. Coarsely chop goji berries. Puree chickpeas until chunky. Wash parsley, shake dry, and chop finely. Mix spring onions, garlic, goji berries, 4 Tbsp cottage cheese, chickpea flour, and parsley into the chickpea puree.

Healthy, because
Chickpeas score with a lot of protein and fiber - this ensures that the delicious little cakes keep you full for a really long time. Linseed oil contains more of the triple-unsaturated omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid than almost any other vegetable oil. It is essential for life, can inhibit inflammation and the formation of blood clots and protect the blood vessels.
Even smarter
When buying dairy products, make sure that the milk comes from pasture-raised or organically raised animals: It has a better fatty acid ratio than conventional milk.
