So on Australia Day Joff is having a BBQ, it is also the day after his 31st birthday.
I went to QV Market, Aldi and Woolies to get some stuff to prep for the BBQ.
At the market cherries were so cheap I couldn’t resist. Sarah and I made a cherry pie in November after Joff had bought a kg of cherries at the market. So Joff keeps talking about making cherry pie. I cooked up the cherries this afternoon for pie making closer to the BBQ.
So that’s in the fridge now waiting to be made into pie.
After this I made lentil-chickpea fritters for the BBQ also and took photos while I made it. For better food recipe how to’s, go to T’Nealle’s blog, but either way, here is mine;
– Put cooked chickpeas and cooked lentils in a blender.
– Add spring onions
I planted basil, coriander and parsley in a planter box yesterday, so I picked some of that fresh basil to put in the patty mix.
– Add paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper.
– Blend together, then add wholemeal flour.
I have pre cooked the batter into fritters on my beloved George Forman Grill. I love my grill. (technically this is my brother’s- but mine is identical.)
I packed up the lentil and chickpea fritters into containers for freezing. Of course I tested one for myself!
Its served with Bearnaise sauce, with beetroot, sun-dried tomato, capers and parsley garnish.
