Ingredients

Scale

Lamb & Chickpea Fritters

  • 500g lamb mince
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Wraps

  • 4 large wraps or flatbreads
  • Optional toppings: yogurt or tzatziki, lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fritter Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until slightly chunky. Add the lamb mince, chopped onion, garlic, spices, salt, pepper, beaten egg, parsley, and flour. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Form the Fritters: Shape the mixture into small, evenly sized patties about 2 inches in diameter to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Fritters: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fritters and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Take care not to crowd the pan, cooking in batches if necessary.
  4. Warm the Wraps: While the fritters cook, warm the wraps in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Place 2-3 lamb and chickpea fritters onto each wrap. Add optional toppings like yogurt, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber for added freshness and texture.
  6. Serve: Roll the wraps tightly and serve immediately while the fritters are warm and crispy.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the fritter mix.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the plain flour with chickpea flour or gluten-free flour blend.
  • These fritters can also be baked at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes as a healthier alternative to frying.
  • Leftover fritters can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
