Sundried Tomato Chickpea Cakes/Patties

Step 1

Place sun dried tomatoes, garlic, onion and cashews in a food processor and pulse few times.

Step 2

Add chickpeas to a food processor along with coriander or basil leaves and once again pulse just a few times. ( don't make a paste, leave it little chunky )

Step 3

Add black pepper, red chilli flakes and salt per your liking. ( maybe you will need less salt as sun dried tomatoes already have salt or if you are using canned chickpeas )

Step 4

Combine well, and rest the mixture wrapped in cling film in a fridge for half an hour minimum. ( if you want to prepare straight away, maybe you need to add one spoon wholemeal flour )

Step 5

Heat 1-2 tbsp. oil a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup mixture per cake and make round patty.

Step 7

Roll them in oats.

Step 8

Add 3-4 cakes and pan fry each side until lightly golden.

Step 9

Repeat with remaining cakes.

Step 10

Serve with lots of fresh salad or with your favourite toppings.
