Spinach and Chickpea Fritters


This is a recipe from the Food Network Magazine, adapted to personal taste and available ingredients.

Ingredients
:
1 cup chickpea flour(all purpose flour may work as well)
1/4 cup cornstarch
10 dashes cumin
10 dashes cayenne pepper
small yellow onion
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 TBSP ginger, peeled, minced
veg/olive oil for frying


Condiment suggestion: Really quick and easy Chili-Lime Mayonnaise
TBSP Vegenaise
TBSP fresh lime juice
tsp Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce

1. Whisk ingredients up to cayenne in a large bowl.
2. Add 2/3 cup water and whisk more until smooth
3.Add the rest of the ingredients (not oil) and mix all ingredients together well.
4.Spoon heaping tablespoon size scoops into your hand, and form mixture into a ball.
5. Put in hot oil and fry for a few minutes on each side, until crisp and golden brown.
6.Remove from oil and place on paper-towel lined plate.
7.Repeat until the bowl is empty.
8. Try experimenting with different dipping sauces, but the chili-lime mayo is very tasty and though it is a spicy mayo, it is somewhat cooling to the palate.
