With kale and leeks and other healthy delicious stuff too!
I figured the title was long enough as is, so I actually left a few things out. Wow, I didn’t even know that was possible for me to do. You know how much I like to come up with the most ridiculous recipe titles ever.
I actually think it has become a “talent” of mine.
Ok, ok, ok, BUT you guys. I am so out of the real world. This is totally random, but I know like nothing about anything anymore. I mean, ask me anything about food and I can probably talk for hours, but when it comes to the real world and what’s going on, I know nothing.
And things like pop culture? Oh my gosh. So out of it.
I just watched the half time show on You Tube because everyone was talking about it and I felt like I should I should at least watch it so that I can be a part of the conversations. Oh, and I watched it on You Tube because at the moment, I have zero televisions in my place…hence the not knowing anything about anything.
Anyway, I watched the halftime show and for the whole twelve minutes, I was thinking “what the heck is this”? I mean, I knew it was Katy Perry and I knew Lenny Kravitz and I knew Missy Elliot, but umm basically I was lost the whole freaking time.
Like what’s with all the glitter and sparkles? This may be the tomboy in me shinning through, but whoa. There was a lot of glitter going on.
I have to say though, I give all those performers major props. I’m looking at the giant stadium thinking, what if she messed up? I’d be horrified. All those people? Yikes! So job well done to all of them if you ask me.
My point is though, I think I need to get back into the world a bit. I used to be so up on things. Now I just spend my free time taking a million and one photos of blood oranges (oh yeah, just wait for it…they are coming!).
I have been expanding my music horizons though. Pandora has been playing a lot lately. My brother says I should try Spotify though? Should I?
Even had a few hours of classic rock playing while my dad was here helping me do the dishes (yup, he’s the best). Thinking this brought him back to his teenage days, he was lovin it. The Eagles, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin (did I ever tell you the story about how little miss Asher, was almost little miss Zeppelin??)…he told me all about them. I mean, I obviously knew about the bands because they’re classic, but ya know, it was good father daughter bonding time.
And hey, it made cleaning actually not that bad. Nice.
And now, changing subjects.
I’ve got Greek feta chickpea pancake fritters guys!!
I am calling them pancake fritters because I feel like they are cross between the two. Soft like a pancake, but still crispy like a fritter. I filled them with caramelized leeks and kale and then used a new to me ingredient, chickpea flour. It just makes the pancakes a little hearty and the perfect texture.
Plus, it also leaves them gluten-free and totally healthy. Yeah!!
Oh and the feta. Gosh, I think I eat Greek food just for the feta. So good.
I topped the pancakes with a poached egg and some olive tapenade. The egg creates an awesome sauce and the tapenade adds so much flavor. I actually used an anchovy in the tapenade, but don’t freak out about it. I promise, it only adds delicious flavor. Nothing fishy, just goodness!!
Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
So I think I need a big ole plate of these fritters… and a side of the Newspaper. Yup.
This was super nice. The Tapenade is a revelation! I have to work more on my skillet fritter skills but this went down really well with the family. Saving this for a repeat. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dan! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Hi! This recipe looks amazing, can you sub the chickpea flour with cooked chickpeas? And if yes, what amount of chickpeas? Thank you!
Yes, I think that would work, but I am not sure about the amount. Maybe 1/2 cup? Let me know how it goes.
Wow, that’s what I was looking for, what a
information! existing here at this weblog, thanks admin of this web
page.
Thanks!
Very nice fritters, and so fast to make, thanks for sharing the recipe. Also my little daughter (13 month) loved them.
These are SERIOUSLY delicious!!!
I’m just wondering if there was a mistake with the measurements though because it says “serves 4” but I was only able to make 7 (relatively small!) fritters, so more like 2 servings. But great recipe, definitely going to make it again!
So happy you loved these!! Not sure what happened with the servings though, I will go look over the recipe. THANKS!
I made the fritters for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day but I couldn’t find chickpea flour so I just used all purpose. Still DELICIOUS! The Greek yogurt in the batter was amazing! I served it with scrambled eggs, Apple sauce, and Greek yogurt on top with bacon on the side. Thanks for a great recipe!
So happy you loved them! THANKS!
I’ve had this open on my computer since you posted it and I seriously cannot WAIT to make these – I love the rich flavor chickpea adds to dishes and I bet these are amazeballs. (I ALSO watched the halftime show on youtube after because I was so out of the loop!)
Hurrah! Finally I got a webpage from where I be able to truly obtain valuable information concerning my study and knowledge.
These look specTACular!!! So many incredible flavours. Definitely going on my ‘to make’ list 🙂
Thanks Becca!
I love these fritters, Greek flavors are the absolute best!
Thanks Laura!
Apparently I’m out of touch, too, since I haven’t seen this infamous shark thing that people keep talking about in the halftime show! And yes to spotify! We listen to it all the time at our place and it’s great for listening to music you like, but wouldn’t necessarily pick. These pancake/fritters look SO delicious 🙂 I am totally in whenever there is feta cheese!
The shark thing was weird! LOL!
Thanks Denise!
Everything is always better with a little feta on it. I’m drooling over these chickpea feta pancakes. They will make the perfect light lunch. Mmmmm.
Thanks Lynn! 🙂
