Beetroot and Chickpea Fritters
So easy and cheap to make everyone has to try them.
I got my Beetroot and scallions in Aldi for 35 cent each!
Preparation time 10 minutes
Cooking time 5-6 minutes
Ingredients:
250g cooked Beetroot the ones in the vacuum pack (not pickled)
I small tin of chickpeas drained
3 scallions sliced I used green and white part
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon of mint chopped
1 tablespoon of coriander chopped
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 large free range egg
Sea salt and cracked pepper to season
Method:
Chop the chickpeas roughly or blitz them briefly in food processor add to a bowl
Coarsely grated the Beetroot on a box grater. ( use gloves as they may stain your hands even if they are cooked)
add these to the chickpeas
Mix with all the other ingredients
Heat a frying pan with a little oil
When hot enough get a tablespoon and spoon the mixture into the frying pan do about 3 at a time.
Fry on each side for 2 minutes on a medium heat.
Heat the oven on low and as you cook the fritters in batches keep them warm in the oven until you have them all cooked.
Serve with a yogurt dip. Such as Riata, I made one with lemon,garlic and cucumber
Hint: make baby size fritters for canapés or party food top with a little soft goats cheese and toasted hazelnuts.
