Chickpea
& Pumpkin Patties
1
tin of cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2
tbsp parsley leaves
2
dl breadcrumbs
1
egg
250
g pumpkin, diced
2
garlic cloves
1
small onion, finely diced
2
tsp olive oil
1
tbsp sweet paprika powder
1
tsp ground cumin
1
dl greek yoghurt
1
tsp lemon juice
1
dl plain flour for dusting
Bring
pumpkin and garlic to the boil in a pan with water.
Simmer
until cooked through.
Strain
and cool.
Heat
olive oil in a pan.
Add
diced onion and a pinch of salt.
Sweat
over medium heat (the onion, not you) until cooked through.
Add
paprika and cumin.
Toast
spices for a minute until fragrant.
Remove
from heat and cool.
Throw
the chickpeas, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg and garlic into a food processor and
pulse until it binds together (a few whole chickpeas here and there
doesn't matter).
Gently
stir through pumpkin and onion.
Form
into as many patties as you like, keeping them about 2.5 cm thick. (The
thinner you make your patties, the more you increase the likelihood of
them falling to bits before they reach the pan. You could even
shape them into balls and then flatten them in the pan afterwards, although the
sides won't be nearly as neat.)
Dredge
both sides in flour.
Pan
fry over medium heat (give them a gentle press with a spatula to maximise
surface contact) with a little oil for 3 mins each side.
Stir
together the yoghurt and lemon juice.
Season
and serve.
