It is a good thread even if the title immediately makes you think the members of the National Party are vegetables.
I like the sound of those chick pea fritters too and will give them a go - although as Muso suggested - they might be even nicer spiced up a bit.
Do try them. They are yummy. I like the variation in texture between the corn bits and the garbanzos. Another thing I found out while preparing it is - don't try the roughly chopped chickpea bit using a processor whatever you do, you'll end up with some very fine chickpea mush and whole chickpeas. I had to use a meat fork to achieve that texture, although you might be able to put it through one of these attachments that slices, and get the same effect.
Wildfire spice is great. It's not too hot. I started using it on wedges and progressed to other things.
Thanks for the tip about the chickpeas. I've made that mistake before - but have a short memory. I'm going to make the cakes today, but will add some grated carrot as well.
I haven't seen the wildfire spice either, but if I see it on the shelves I'll get some. I'll add a little chili though.

This thread is a bit off topic. Maybe some Nationals' anecdotes could be thrown into the mix as well.
Quote:I stole this recipe off the internet. We make it pretty much the same, except I either use beef or lamb - not both. And you can drizzle with olive oil instead of the butter, if you prefer (I do). I also mix the lemon and tahini before I put it in the yoghurt cos I worry it'll curdle. Make sure you use the thicker European style yoghurt.
That looks yummy Annie. I love chickpeas too, but it's easy to overdose on them. Even though they don't seem rich, in some tasty dishes they can be.
