Ingredients:
3 onions
1 tsp salt
3 small tins of different types of beans
3 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 mugs chickpea flour.
2 chopped up red peppers
4 chopped up tomatoes
2 small chopped up courgettes
3 tsp of fresh grated turmeric (or 2 tsp of turmeric powder)
2 tbsp of oil
500 g of rice
1 tsp of salt.
Process:
Instructions for making the fritters:
Begin by dicing the onions and combining them with salt, drained beans, ground cumin, ground cloves, and chickpea flour. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together using your hands or a spoon until you achieve a coarse dough. Shape the mixture into desired forms and then fry them in a shallow pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Method for preparing the risotto:
Heat a pan over high heat and drizzle some olive oil. Sauté the red peppers, tomatoes, courgettes, and turmeric for about 5 minutes. Once the vegetables are tender, add the rice and pour in enough water to cover the rice by 3 cm. Remember to season with salt (approximately 1 tsp). Simmer over low heat for around 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
Tips:
This is great for a family meal, or even a romantic dinner. You can chop all the ingredients in advance and leave them ready to cook. If you do, the meal will only take about 15 to 20 minutes to be ready (depending on the number of portions). Remember to serve it straight away.
Enjoy your meal 💚🌱
