Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
For the chickpea fritters
- 1 398ml can chickpeas
- 4 spring/green onions, sliced thinly
- 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric (for colour)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil, plus more for oiling tray
For the bowls
- 1 packed cup arugula/rocket or spinach leaves
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- Large scoop of your favourite hummus
Instructions
- Pour the chickpeas into a large mixing bowl and knead with your hands until they're almost totally broken down (about 1 minute).
- Add in all other fritter ingredients and continue to knead the mixture by hand until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Set the mixture aside for 10 minutes so it can firm up. Meanwhile switch on your oven's grill/broiler and place a baking tray lightly coated with oil beneath it to warm.
- Form the chickpea mixture into 4 equal patties and place on the warmed baking tray.
- Grill the fritters for 4-6 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
- Flip the fritters and also add the cherry tomatoes to the baking tray. Grill everything for another 4-6 minutes, ensuring the tomatoes don't burn (they cook quickly!). Remove from the oven.
To serve
- To assemble the two bowls, create a base of rocket/arugula or spinach leaves in each, and place the fritters on top. Add the cherry tomatoes and a scoop of your favourite hummus, and they're ready to eat!
