Wednesday with Donna Hay: Lovely Legumes - Chickpea, Feta, and Carrot Fritters

       My 151st recipe with the Wednesday with Donna Hay group is Chickpea, Feta, and Carrot Fritters, was chosen for the theme, Lovely Legumes, and is found in Donna Hay's book Simple Dinners on pages 68-69.

       The ingredient list: chickpeas, carrots, cilantro (I used parsley), feta, eggs, rice flour, baking powder, black pepper, vegetable oil, lemon wedges, yogurt, and spinach.

       First off, I had to look up what exactly qualified as a "legume" to make sure I was in the right arena.  Chickpeas are legumes, so I was good to go with this recipe which looked interesting and delicious for a nice lunch option for me (the husband does not like, he always claims, chickpeas, so refuses to participate in anything chickpea-related).  The fritters are just "fried" in a tiny bit of oil in the pan to give them a nice crisp crust so they were not at all greasy, which is always a good thing.  They had a nice gentle flavor tasting both of chickpeas and carrots, which are both kind of mild in taste, so if you wanted to jazz them up a bit, you could hit them with some hot sauce that would also compliment the feta cheese in it. I liked them just fine squirted with the lemon and dipped in the yogurt.  Definitely a repeat.
