Strain water from tuna making sure to remove excess water by pressing it with the back of a spoon through a strainer. Strain water from chickpeas and mash with a potato masher. The chick peas should still have some texture and not mashed into a paste. Add strained tuna, garlic, bell pepper, onion, wiri wiri pepper, chopped parsley, lemon zest, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, bread crumbs and egg and mix well.

To form the patties, use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop out each patty and press to form a circle about ½ inch in thickness. In a frying pan over medium heat, add oil(about ½ in deep). When oil is hot fry patties on both sides until golden brown. When the edges become brown, flip to the other side and fry until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a sheet lined with paper towel. Serve warm.
