If using sunflower seeds, preheat oven to 350F. Spread seeds on baking

chopped. Add chickpeas and process until well mixed. Keep mix in food
processor. In heavy pot, combine couscous, tomato juice and red wine. Stir
and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer 2-3 mins, until couscous
has absorbed all the liquid. Let stand 5 more mins. Add cooked couscous to
chickpea mixture along with remaining ingredients except oil. Mix well,
stopping processor and scraping down the sides once or twice, until smooth.
Lightly oil your hands. Shape 2-3 tb of chickpea mixture between your
hands to form a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture until you have 24

thick. Brush croquettes with olive oil and place on lightly oiled baking
tray. Bake 15 mins, turn croquettes over, brush with oil and bake another
