Chickpea Pancakes

These quick and easy fritters are a great way to get your veggies in. Topped with eggs, sauteed vegetables or yoghurt, they make a great basis for bre...akfast, lunch or dinner. They also freeze well. During testing, we froze several batches and ate them for breakfast in the studio. Rupy said they were ‘like pop-tarts.” We initially laughed at him but then saw his point - they’re an instant, colourful full-of-flavour breakfast.

This is a very forgiving recipe. View the vegetable mix-ins provided here as a suggestion and improvise using what you have. Finely sliced spring onions, bell peppers or chopped up, leftover roasted vegetables would all make great additions.
