Roasted aubergine and feta fritters
Background
These gluten-free, roasted aubergine and feta fritters have a delicate texture and a slightly spicy flavour. They're easy to make, filling and healthy - ideal as nibbles with a drink, or for picnics & lunchboxes. You can also serve them with a salad for a light lunch. Instead of gram flour, other types of gluten-free flour can be used too or indeed plain flour if gluten isn't an issue for you.
Ingredients
- 1 roasted aubergine
- 1 garlic clove
- Β½ tsp smoked paprika
- Couple of pinches of cayenne (optional)
- Β½ tsp cumin powder
- Β½ cup chickpea flour
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 Tbsp chopped mint
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
- 100g feta
Instructions
- Scoop out the aubergine flesh into a mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients, except the feat and blend to a textured batter. Season with salt and pepper, then crumble the cheese over and combine.
- Heat a spoonful of olive oil in a frying pan and add dollops of the batter. Use the spoon the flatten them, speeding into circular shapes. Cook for a couple of minutes. When the surface has set, flip them over and cook for another minute or so.
- Transfer them to a plate and cook the second batch.
- Serve them warm or at room temperature.
Tips
If you donβt have a pre-roasted aubergine - just put one on a baking tray, put it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes - if an inserted skewer goes through it easily then itβs ready to take out!Categories
