Broad bean felafel fritters with minted yoghurt ……adulterated from Cuisine.com.au
I saw this recipe in Good Living and it ticked all the boxes: Chickpeas, broad beans, chilli, cumin and coriander! Delicious. A perfect little vegetarian delight.
You need for 10 to 12 fritters. ( enough for 4 hungry men or 30 models)
1kg fresh broad beans
400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup loosely packed coriander leaves
1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 red chilli, seeded and sliced
½ lemon, zest and juice
½ cup plain flour for dusting
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup plain yoghurt
2 tbsp shredded mint leaves
- Slip out of Burberry trench.
- Pull on Balenciaga track pants and Cashmere Tee.
- Pour a huge bottle of wine down your throat.
- Thin your stint on celebrity Rehab will have to wait another week or two. Hic.
- Remove broad beans from their outer shells.
- Bring a pot of water to the boil, add beans and cook for a couple of minutes until soft.
- Remove and drain. Peel off outer pod and set aside.
- Or just open a packet of frozen broad beans with your teeth.
- Toss the beans in the water and cook until soft ( a few minutes) .
- Drain and put aside for some alone time.
- Zest the lemon gently.
- Get a knife and fork and chop the chilli so you don’t burn your eyes when taking off lashes.
- Ask George Clooney to chop the garlic. He needs a simple job apart from cleaning up.
- Now find the whizzer and toss in the beans and chickpeas and pulse to combine.
- The add the coriander, mint, salt, pepper, garlic, spices, lemon zest and juice and pulse until finely chopped.
- Use your hands ( mind the manicure!) and shape the mixture into 10-12 small patties. Think the size of the buckle of the new Miu Miu bag.
- Then lightly dust with flour to coat. That the fritters not the bag.
- Now when no one is looking heat naughty oil in a large frypan.
- Lower the fritters gently in and cook on both sides until lightly browned as a Chloe tan bag.
- Drain on paper towel and set aside.
- Mix yoghurt with shredded mint leaves and serve with fritters.
- Yum !
