I made a ton of homemade chummus on Friday, and it was more than we could possibly use up quickly enough (homemade chummus spoils much faster than store-bought).
So today I decided to see if it could be repurposed into Chick Pea Fritters.
And it worked - they are quite flavorful!
I made a rather large batch - here's what I did:
Chick Pea Fritter Recipe
3 cups chummus (already made)
2/3 cup brown rice flour
spices - salt, black pepper, granulated garlic (and whatever else you want), to taste
Mix well.
Heat some oil in a frying pan. Drop the chick pea mixture by the large spoonful onto the frying pan, leaving a bit of space between each fritter, and pan fry on both sides. Continue until you've used all the mixture!
Serve hot. Or cold. With whatever dipping sauce you like (we use techina, or ketchup. I'm sure it can work with other sauces too)!
These make a great snack or can even be part of a meal.
Now I just need to remember to make these anytime we have leftover homemade chummus - before it spoils!
Apple crisp is a favorite of ours! At times, we serve it as dessert, and at times, as a decadent Shabbat side dish.
Here's what I do:
8-10 apples, chopped coarsely (I don't bother to peel them, but you are welcome to if you prefer that!)
2/3 cup flour - I use oat flour or rice flour
1/3 cup sugar
4-6 tablespoons oil (you can use the amount you want, it's really flexible
ground cinnamon
Place chopped apples in a baking pan (I use a large lasagna size pan), and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Combine flour, sugar, and oil in a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Spread the flour mixture over the top of the apples.
Bake, uncovered, at 180C for about 45 min.
Enjoy! (It goes really well with vanilla ice cream, dairy or non-dairy!)
