Lamb Chick Pea Fritters

The age old question.... what can I do with 'left overs'??

We had a great 'Lamb Roast Salad' for dinner last night, however was left with quite a bit of lamb for today. Had planned to use it for lunch but it just didn't eventuate so dinner it was.... Certainly didn't feel like doing another dinner 're-run' and so the following is what we ended up with!!  

 Lamb Chick Pea Fritters

(I believe this recipe would still work by taking out the yoghurt and cheese if needed)

1 cup Chick Pea Flour (Besan Flour)

¼ cup of Water, or enough to make a pancake style batter

1 tbsp Greek Yoghurt

¼ tsp Lamb Herb mix (inc Rosemary, Garlic, Marjoram, Thyme, Oregano, Mint, Basil)

¼ tsp ground Cumin

¼ tsp ground Coriander Seeds

1 cup finely grated Sweet Potato

1 cup finely grated Zucchini

½ - 1 cup diced Roast Lamb

½ cup grated Tasty Cheese

Grape Seed Oil or Coconut Oil cooking spray

  - Mix together the Chick Pea Flour, Cumin, Coriander, and Lamb Herb mix

- Add in the Water slowly until the ingredients form a batter

- Add in the Yoghurt and mix

- Add in Sweet Potato, Zucchini, Cheese and Lamb. Mix together

 

- Heat a pan with your choice of oil (Initially I used Grape Seed, however found it to heavy for the fritters. I then used Coconut Spray Oil and found it worked perfectly!). I kept the heat of the pan around medium

- Add about a tablespoon of mixture to the pan for each fritter ( I was able to cook three at a time)

- Cook till fritters become golden brown, about four mins each side

 

Wah-la!!! Done....

I served the fitters with some more Greek Yoghurt and a Spinach, Pumpkin and Pine Nut Salad....

Made a great Sunday Night dinner and no unnecessary food wastage - perfect! ;)
