Zucchini, Carrot, Chickpea and Sweet Potato Fritters
- 1 whole Sweet Potato (kumara), Small To Medium
- 1 can Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans, 400g Can, Drained
- 1 Tablespoon Sweet Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Moroccan Seasoning
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 whole Medium Carrot, Grated
- 2 whole Zucchinis, Grated, Liquid Squeezed Out
- 1/2 whole Brown Onion, Medium, Grated, Liquid Squeezed Out
- Oil, For Frying
- 1 Tablespoon Spicy Mango Chutney, To Serve
- Peel sweet potato and boil/steam until soft.
- Drain off the water.
- Drain, rinse and pat dry the chickpeas.
- Place sweet potato and chickpeas in a food processor with spices and egg and blend until smooth.
- In a bowl combine sweet potato mixture with carrot, zucchini and onion (first ensure all liquid has been squeezed out of the grated veggies) and mix well.
- Roll into 6-8 balls and refrigerate for a 1/2 hour to firm them.
- Heat a frying pan (I used cast iron) over medium heat with a little oil.
- Once oil is hot add the balls and fry on both sides, around 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve with a garden salad and spicy chutney.
- Other serving suggestion: heat up a sheet of roti or mountain bread, spread with chutney and roll some broken patties and salad inside like a burrito.
- Enjoy!
