400g can chickpea
drained
1 garlic clove
chopped
1 large egg
1 tbsp ground almond
2 tsp harissa
1 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tsp rapeseed oil

5 radishes
thinly sliced
2 handfuls from a bag of watercress
rocket & spinach
1 tsp each hemp or rapeseed oil
and white wine vinegar, or lemon wedges (optional)

Method

step 1
Tip the chickpeas, garlic, egg, almonds, harissa and cumin into a bowl and blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Stir in the parsley. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and dollop in the mixture in 8 big spoonfuls, spaced apart. Cook for 5 mins on each side.

For the salad, toss the raisins and all the veg together, but don’t dress with the oil and vinegar until you are about to eat. If taking to work, add a wedge of lemon to squeeze over instead of the dressing.
