1/2 cup gluten free flour

3/4 cups parmesan cheese, grated

2 tsp fresh rosemerry, finely chopped ( or 1 tbsp dried )

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup of chickpeas, mashed

2 eggs, slightly beaten

oil for frying ( I used olive ) but feel free to use whatever oil you like. 

In a medium bowl mix together the flour, parmesan, rosemary, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl mix the pumpkin, chickpeas and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.

In a deep frying pan heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is heated drop 3 or 4 large tbsp of batter into the oil. Gently flatten each tbsp. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until nice and crispy golden. Remove from pan and lay on some paper towel to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy.

*note: If the fritters are browning too fast, turn the heat down to med-low

Recipe adapted from Canadian Living

Makes about 6-8 med large patties

Fish Cakes

• 1 rib of celery, coarsely chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
• 450g of tilapia or halibut
• 3/4 cup of bread crumbs ( I used 2 small pieces of gluten free bread )
• 2 tsp dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

In a food processor pulse together the celery, green onions and parsley until finely chopped. Scrape into a medium sized bowl and set aside. Now add the fish to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped making sure not to over pulse, you do not want the fish to be a puree. Add to the bowl. Tear up the bread and pulse in food processor until it has formed a crumbly consistency. Add the bread crumbs to the parsley bowl and mix in the egg, mustard and pepper. Divide into burger sized patties each about 1/2 inch thick. In a skillet heat the oil over medium heat; cook the patties for about 10 minutes or so turning once.

Mayo

• 1/3 cup Hellmans
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder

Toppings

• Avocado
• gouda or cheese of choice
• lettuce

In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, lemon juice and chili powder.

To serve:

Toast bread or buns; I used gluten free bread. Place patty on a slice of bread, top with some gouda or cheese of choice. If you want it melted place under the grill for a min or so. Now add the fresh avocado, lettuce and a nice smear of lemon chili mayo and finally add the second piece of bread. Enjoy!!

I like to make a batch of these and  eat them throughout the week with some soup and a salad. They taste great as is or you can slice them and toss the slices in the oven at 400 for a few minutes until they are nice and toasty, yum!
