Broccoli Fritter Pie (V)

This recipe came about when I wanted to make broccoli fritters, but I couldn’t be bothered to stand over the stove frying patties for way too long. So instead, I created this recipe which was both delicious and easy. A food processor makes this come together even faster.

1 1/2 cups chickpea flour

2 cups water

1 teaspoon Maldon sea salt

**********

1 head broccoli

1 onion

1 teaspoon Maldon sea salt

1 fresh red chili pepper (or some dried chili flakes)

handful chives & cilantro

Optional topping: shredded parmesan cheese (vegan or not)

Lemon wedges for serving

Method:

1. Whisk the chickpea flour with water and salt. Set aside & remove any foam that rises to the surface.

2. Preheat oven 400F/200C.

3. In a food processor mince the broccoli, including stems until fine.

4. Steam the broccoli 5 minutes and remove from heat.

5. Finely dice the onion, red chili pepper, chives & cilantro - use the food processor if you can to make it quick work.

6. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until combined.

7. Pour all into a either a 10” or 11” cast iron skillet or an oven safe non-stick skillet. Top with optional parmesan cheese.

8. Bake until golden brown on top, approximately 30 minutes.

9. Serve slices with lemon wedges. Enjoy.
