Garbanzo Vegan Fritters

Zuchini, potato, and Kimchee combined in a garbazo flour mix — what’s to dislike?

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Red Potato (Medium size, grated)
  • 1 C Kimchi (Finely chopped)
  • 1 C Zucchini (geen or yellow) (Grated, skin on)
  • 1 t Kosher Salt
  • 1 t Pepper (Freshly ground, larger sizes)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 C Garbanzo Flour
  • 1/2 C Water (Add more for pancake consistency)

Cook + Serve

  • 1/4 C Olive oil
  • 12 t Sour Cream (Vegan style sour cream)
  • 12 T Reggiano Parmesan (Vegan style cheese)

Prep Veggies

  1. Set oven to 350F, set out a baking sheet.

  2. Set up a veggie workstation (chef knife, cutting board, discard bowl, damp rag, and grater)

  3. Grate 1 medium sized red potato

  4. Grate 1C unpeeled zucchini (green or yellow works)

  5. Chop Kimchi so that you have 1C of the veggies

  6. Combine all the veggies in a bowl, add salt and pepper and mix well.



Batter

  1. Add 1C garbanzo flour to a bowl and mix in 1/2C water. Mix well and it should be a pancake batter consistency, add more water is needed.

  2. Then combine the batter into the bowl of veggies. Since the Kimchi has liquid, check the consistency again and add more flour if needed.



Cook

  1. Heat a cast iron skillet, add half the oil and heat. Then add one large spoonful of the mixture to the hot oil to cook. Should fit 4 fritters in the pan.



  2. Cook the fritters until brown on the side, then flip. Once cooked place on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.

  3. Add a bit more oil between frying as required.

  4. Add the cooked fritters to the baking sheet and put into the oven to keep cooking. This will help drain away grease, keep the food warm and crisp,

Serving

  1. Top each fritter with 1t sourcream on each, and 1T grated cheese. Some people like to add a sprinkle of some green herbs on top.

If you use too much oil, the fritters will need to be drained as they should not grease up the serving plate.
