1 large garlic clove, finely chopped (originally recipe calls for 1 full clove)

Small handful of chopped parsley

1 tsp. Middle Eastern spice mix (or, 1 tsp. each of ground coriander, cinnamon and ground cumin)

1 tsp. paprika

2 T. wholemeal flour, plus extra

1 egg

2 T. uncooked rolled oats (add more if the mixture is too wet)

2T. cooked couscous (not essential; it was leftover from last night’s dinner)

Large handful of cooked roast pumpkin (again, leftover from last night)

1/2 a small red onion, chopped

Olive oil for frying

 

Put all ingredients into a food processor and whiz until smooth. The mixture definitely shouldn’t be dough-like, but it shouldn’t be too wet that it falls apart easily. Put some of the extra flour onto a plate and use an ice cream to scoop (even easier if you have a scoop that flicks out the balls) to make the patties. Flour your hands and dip the balls into the flour and shape them into rounds and flatten. Fry over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes each side or until golden. When done, drain on a paper towel.
