Chickpea Cakes

Another from the ATK Quick Family Cookbook.  Messed up a few things about this one.  First, I put the yogurt with cucumber in the cake mix instead of setting it aside as a sauce.  Ended up using plain greek yogurt mixed with some hummus I had as a sauce instead, which worked fine.  

The full recipe said you would end up 6 cakes, but I ended up with 10 after halving the recipe...also, I didn’t seem to mix all the ingredients well enough, as some kind of crumbled apart in cooking.  Flavor was ok...probably wouldn’t make again since it’s pretty time consuming.

Ingredients

1 cucumber, deseeded and shredded

1/2 cup greek yogurt

fresh cilantro

1 15oz can chickpeas

1 large egg

olive oil

1 tsp curry powder

pinch of cayenne pepper

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/2 shallot minced

Recipe

Toss shredded cucumber with salt and drain for ~10 minutes in a strainer.  Then combine with yogurt and cilantro, seasoning to taste.

Blend chickpeas to coarse puree - don’t overblend. 

Whisk eggs, 1 tbsp olive oil, curry powder, cayenne and stir in chickpeas, panko, shallot, and 1/4 cup yogurt.  Divide into small 1″ thick patties.

Heat oil in frying pan and cook cakes ~4 minutes on both sides (do in batches).

Serve with yogurt on the side.

Results

As I mentioned, too much effort for something that’s so-so.

Falafel s umakom od mrkve i jogurta

Falafel je jedno od onih jela za koje kažu da je kao pizza - svi ga vole. Zainteresirana tom informacijom i ja sam ga odlučila isprobati. No prije ovog, uspješnog, imala sam već dva pokušaja i bila vrlo razočarana. Prvi je završio kao nejestiva pasta od slanutka i ulja, drugi je došao do faze jedenja ali nisam bila zadovoljna ni teksturom ni okusom. Nakon više mjeseci pauze krenula sam ponovno u istraživanje i ovako ga pripremila. Uz njega sam servirala umak od mrkve i jogurta, koji je odličan i uz pomfrit ili bilo što pohano. 

Sastojci

limenka slanutka od 400 g 

jedan režanj češnjaka

četvrtina ljubičastog luka

peršin

2 žlice brašna + 1 žlica za posipanje

kajenski papar, sol, papar

maslinovo ulje

Za umak od mrkve i jogurta

polovica veće mrkve ili jedna manja

pola šalice jogurta

1 žlica krem sira

sol, papar, kajenski papar, cimet, curry

Slanutak dobro ocijedimo te pobrišemo papirnatim ručnikom ako je potrebno. Sitno nasjeckamo luk, češnjak i peršin. Stavimo ih u multipraktik uz slanutak, začine, brašno i malo maslinovog ulja. Miksamo dok ne dobijemo glatku smjesu. Podijelimo je na četiri dijela i na pobrašnjenoj površini oblikujemo u diskove. Pržimo na malo ulja, par minuta sa svake strane. 

Umak je vrlo jednostavan. Posolimo naribanu mrkvu i nakon par minuta ocijedimo dio tekućine koju pusti. Izmiješamo je sa svježim sirom, začinima i razrijedimo jogurtom do željene gustoće. Začine naravno, prilagodite vlastitom ukusu. Na vrh noža cimeta, jednako toliko curryja i malo ljutine od kajenskog papra su za mene najbolja kombinacija. 

Serviramo uz zelenu salatu, svježe paprike i neku vrstu flatbreada (lepinje).
