And Now The Spiced Chickpea Fritters Recipe!
Makes 6 – 10 fritters | Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas, drained
- 1/2 c. whole spelt flour (or most any flour you have on hand)
- 2 – 3 tbsp vegetable broth (start with 2, add more if needed)
- 2 tbsp aquafaba (from your can of chickpeas)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1 chopped green onion
- sprinkle of favourite vegan cheese shreds
Preparation:
- Drain your chickpeas. Save the aquafaba liquid for later.
- Smash your chickpeas up a bit then add in your liquid ingredients and mix together.
- Now add in your flour, nutritional yeast, and spices. Continue mashing together until chunky and well combined. Be careful not to over mash as it will make the mixture too wet.
- Now add in your onions and cheese shreds. Mix all together with your hands to form a ball. If it is too dry add some more veggie broth. If it seems a little too wet add in a bit more flour to help absorb the extra moisture.
- Next we will form our fritter patties. You should be able to make 6 – 10 depending on how big you make them. I usually get about 8. Use this time while you are working with your dough to connect with the energies in your ingredients. Focus on your goals and what your re trying to accomplish.
- We can now begin to cook the fritters. Add a bit of olive oil into your pan and fry each fritter for about 4 minutes per side on medium/low heat. They will turn a nice golden brown and be a bit crispy when finished. While you are frying your fritters you may state the following or something similar, ‘Sacred chickpeas, gift from the earth, bring abundance into my day and life.’ You can tailor this to meet your specific situation.
And that’s it!
Very easy to put together and really so tasty. If you have leftovers try to reheat them in a pan and not the microwave. It will give a much better result. They will last 4 – 5 days in the fridge. Add your favourite dip to the experience to make them extra tasty. I really like them with hummus or garlic mayo.
These fritters are great to match the spring time rhythms happening all around us in nature. I hope you enjoy them and may they help to bring much abundance to your life!
