Chickpea patties: a delicious reason to stock up on chickpeas!
Ingredients:
  • 1 (about 500g) orange sweet potato (kumara), peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 1 x 440g can corn kernels, drained
  • 1 avocado, halved, stone removed, peeled, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh coriander
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 1 x 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 40.00 gm sun-dried tomato pesto
  • 1 tsp Mexican chilli powder
  • 90g (1 cup) dried (packaged) breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, to shallow fry
  • Fresh coriander sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Steam the sweet potato over gently simmering water in a covered saucepan for 15 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
  • Combine the corn, avocado, onion, coriander, and lemon juice in a bowl, then chill in the fridge covered with plastic wrap.
  • Combine sweet potato, chickpeas, sun-dried tomato pesto, and chili powder in a food processor. Process until thoroughly mixed.
  • Shape the sweet potato mixture into 8 patties of equal size. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate and coat each patty evenly. Heat oil in a large frying pan (5mm depth) over medium heat. Cook half the patties for 3-5 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the rest of the patties.
  • Plate the patties, garnish with fresh coriander, and serve alongside the corn salsa and lemon wedges.
