Chickpea and courgettes fritters

This is a bit of a reworking of a previous recipe - to be honest this works with almost any veg combination although wet vegetables tend to make a sloppy mix that needs a lot of flour and they can end up quite dry. Sweetcorn is a favourite here, but this time I needed to use up some courgettes!


I baked two large potatoes in the microwave, peeled and roughly diced them once cool, part cooked the courgettes (so they were not too sloppy) and added them to a 400g can of drained chickpeas in my food processor. I added mixed herbs, salt and pepper to taste and whizzed them all together - but not so it was too smooth, just enough to combine.

Then roll large balls in gram flour and shallow fry as patties to look as above!

TIP: Don't worry if the mixture does end up a little sloppy, you can stiffen it up stirring in/mixing in some gram flour before making patties.

Hallowe'en Brownie Bites

A belated Hallwe'en post!



I made brownies from a fabulous new mix from Tesco last week and posted them on Instagram. Many asked for the recipe - but I'm afraid this was a cheat, I used the packet below from Tesco!

I'm now getting used to egg replacer, after 18 months and replaced the 2 eggs needed with Organ egg replacer. (Anyone else noticed they are selling two different types at present? One has a blue box the other yellow - and one needs two teaspoons and the other one? One is just twice as concentrated as otherwise it's the same......) I used a free from margarine and then poured the mixture into some hallowe'en cups to make "Brownie Bites"!

I must say the kids were really pleased, it was a lovely recipe!
