Recipe: Sweet Potato and Chickpea Cakes

Vegetarian recipe: sweet potato and chickpea cakes burgers patties with humous
So this is the first recipe I have done on the blog! Lewis and I are both vegetarians and seeing as sweet potatoes and chickpeas are big players in our diet, we thought why not combine them?! I have wanted to share this creation for while because it’s super yummy and you can make a big batch and save it for the rest of the week. So let’s get cooking!
Ingredients, what you will need to make vegetarian recipe sweet potato and chickpea cakes burgers patties

You will need 
– 2 medium sweet potatoes 
– 1 large can of chickpeas 
– 1 onion 
– 2 cloves of garlic 
– 1 egg
– Flour
– Oil
Vegetarian sweet potato and chickpea cakes burger patties recipe mixture

1. Grate the sweet potatoes and fry in oil until soft. Set aside in a large bowl.

2. Fry the chopped onion and garlic and add to the sweet potato mixture.

3. Briefly whizz the can of chickpeas in a food processor (or mash them with a fork if, like us, you’re not lucky enough to own such a machine or just fancy a work out). Add to the mixture bowl.

4. Add one beaten egg, seasoning and flour (enough to bind the mixture) and mix together.

5. Now for the fun part! Heat a fair amount of oil on a high heat in a frying pan.

6. Create the round cakes by scooping mixture onto a wooden spoon, shaping with your hand and sprinkling with flour.

7. Put the cake in the frying pan, flour side down and sprinkle the upward side with flour too.

8. Continue until all the mixture is used!
9. Then I pop the cakes in the oven on a low heat to keep them warm while I fry slices of aubergine and cook some rice to go with the cakes. Serving with humous is highly recommended.
