Carrot, Chickpea and Feta fritters

The combination of sweet carrot, salty feta and crunchy chickpeas make these fritters a unique and delicious flavour combination.

Recipe taken from Donna Hay’s new book “Simple Dinners”

Ingredients:

2 carrots, peeled and grated
400g can chickpeas, drained
100g feta cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup rice flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped coriander

Makes around 12 fritters

Put chickpeas in a bowl and mash roughly with a fork.  Add grated carrots.  Crumble over the feta cheese.  Add the beaten eggs, rice flour, baking powder and chopped corriander.  Mix well.  Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan.  Shape mixture into fritters and fry until brown on both sides and cooked through.

Serve with chopped tomato, red onion and a dollop of low fat sour cream.  These fritters would also make a tasty burger filling with crispy ice burg lettuce, red onion, avocado and tomato.
