Butternut and chickpea patties

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

500g butternut, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks
2 x 420g tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed
180ml wholewheat breadcrumbs
30ml (2 tbsp) garam masala
2 garlic cloves, crushed
juice of 1 lime
1 large egg, lightly beaten
a handful fresh coriander leaves, chopped, plus extra to garnish
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil, for frying
mango chutney, to serve lime wedges, to serve

Instructions

Place the butternut in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Cover and microwave until just tender, about 3 – 5 minutes on high. Drain and transfer to a bowl.

Add the chickpeas and mix until some parts are smooth yet with whole chickpeas still visible.

Add the breadcrumbs, garam masala, garlic, lime juice, egg and coriander. Season and mix until combined. Use damp hands to form the mixture into 8 patties about 1,5cm thick.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the patties until golden, about 3 – 4 minutes on each side. 5 Drain on paper towels and serve with mango chutney and lime wedges.
