Post by: hana on February 28, 2012, 09:02:52 am

Chickpea, veggie and mint fritters

Makes 12, serves 6 as a starter or 3-4 as a meal

Ingredients

1 400g tin chickpeas, drained
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic
1 carrot, roughly chopped (no need to peel)
1 zucchini, chopped
Big handful of fresh mint, plus more to serve
50g plain flour (can use besan flour to make it gf)
1 egg
freshly ground salt and pepper
1 tbs olive oil plus 1/2 cup for frying

Put onion and garlic in tm and chop for 2 secs on spd 7. Add olive oil and cook for two minutes @ 100 degrees on spd 2.
Throw in drained chickpeas, carrot, zucchini and mint and blitz on turbo 2-3 times or until roughly chopped and coming together.
Add flour, salt and pepper, and egg and blitz again on turbo 1-2 times until you have a chunky batter.
Heat oil in a non stick pan over medium heat. Drop heaped tablespoons of the batter into the oil and flatten slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
Serve with tm yoghurt, sweet chilli sauce and scatter with mint leaves.


Great to throw together for unexpected guests, as a vegetarian / gluten free option, or for kids lunchboxes.

Hi Hana - thanks for a tasty recipe. About how large is the zucchini you're using? We get enormous ones in Perth and I have overdosed recipes before with too much !!

Bonsai, I used a regular sized zucchini, but I think a massive one would be fine, a bit more flavour. just add a bit more flour to absorb some of the extra moisture. Forgot to mention I threw in a handful of spinach leaves as well. The more veg the better I reckon!

Thanks Hana - I guess as long as there is enough flour it won't matter too much. I have had zucchini slice go really sloppy on me before when the zucchini dose is too high  :-))
