Ingredients

Chickpeas, tinned and drainedTwo tins, drained (400 g)
Drained weight. A 400 g tin drains to about 240 g.
Egg2 large, about 110 g
Gluten-free plain flour30 g
Spinach150 g
Spring onion40 g
Rapeseed oil10 g
Tzatziki100 g
Tomato200 g
Ground cumin1 tsp
Ground coriander1 tsp
Fresh red chilli1, chopped
Lemon juiceHalf a lemon

Method

Wilt the spinach in a dry pan, squeeze it dry and chop it. Pulse the chickpeas in a food processor until coarse but not smooth.
Mix the chickpeas, spinach, eggs, flour, sliced spring onion, spices, chilli and a good pinch of salt into a thick batter.
Fry heaped tablespoons in the oil over a medium heat, flattening each one, for three minutes a side until browned. You should get about ten.
Serve with the tzatziki, sliced tomatoes with salt and lemon.

Worth knowing

Ten grams of oil is enough for a non-stick pan. In a steel pan they will stick and need double, which adds 45 kcal a serving.
The mix keeps in the fridge for a day, so making it the night before is a shortcut worth taking.
