Let’s Get Started
4 servings
15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 150 grams Carrot
- 100g Beetroot
- 200 grams Black Beans (plus 2 tbs of the liquid)
- 60 grams Chickpea Flour (or plain flour)
- 1 tsp Chinese Five Spice
- 1 Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for frying)
Directions:
- Drain the black beans into a mixing bowl, reserving the liquid.
- Roughly mash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Grate the carrots and beetroot and mix into the beans.
- Finely chop or crush the garlic and add to the bean and vegetable mix with all the remaining ingredients plus 2 tbs of the reserved bean liquid. Mix well.
- Alternatively, add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a coarse paste is achieved.
- With wet hands form the paste into round pates about 1cm thick and fry in the olive oil over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Notes:
Alternative cooking method: These fritters cook wonderfully well in a waffle maker for about 8 minutes on medium heat!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze.
