When I first went to create these patties it was with the intention of making them as Chickpea and Zucchini Fritters. Upon looking in the fridge, I discovered I didn't have any zucchinis, but I did have carrots, so henceforth this recipe was created and evolved in to a delicious patty that has a similar taste to a falafel. What goes great with carrot? Turmeric, and spices!
This is a super easy recipe and if you have a Thermomix it will make the preparation process even quicker. Perfect for preparing school and work lunches when you are strapped for time, and great for large gatherings. These patties can be served up with green salad, a tabouli, in a wrap or even as a burger patty.
This is a vegetarian recipe but to convert it to vegan, just omit the egg and replace with a Chia Egg (1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds to 3 tablespoons of filtered water, mixed well and left to sit for 10 mins). I hope you enjoy this recipe!
