Chickpea & carrot fritters

June 2, 2017 By travellingoven 18 Comments

After few sweet blog posts it’s time for a savoury one! And because the Summer temperatures are here, I though of something simple and light that makes for a perfect lunch or dinner now that we don’t feel like eating heavy food and spending a lot of time by the stove or oven. Do you like chickpeas? I love them in soups, stews or as my favourite hummus spread that I already have here on the blog. If you are looking for inspiration to use chickpeas, have a look also at this delicious recipe for Couscous with chickpeas, almonds & pomegranate…

This time I combined chickpeas with carrots to make fritters (fried on just a little bit of coconut oil), added a lovely fresh salad and got the meal that I truly enjoyed, hope you will too!

Chickpea is a legume with seeds that are high in protein and that’s why, when combined with some other vegetables, they make such a healthy and balanced meal. They are also rich in fiber, iron, vitamin B6, magnesium and more so it’s a good idea to include them in your diet. What do you like to eat when it gets so hot outside? I’ve been making a lot of different salads, couscous or millet dishes, roasted or steamed vegetables, occasional chicken or fish for dinner and I have to admit possible a bit too much of fruit because I just love strawberries and cherries so much ands since they are now in season, I may have went a bit overboard with that. I mean, of course fruit is healthy but when eaten in large quantities, it also has a lot of natural sugars so it’s best to enjoy it in moderation (meaning, not like me these days!).

I will keep it short today as these days my life has been pretty much crazy and I’m in the process of moving, doing some works in the new apartment and so on… Busy and stressful! I’ve been trying to relax as much as I can but I think the real relaxation will come only somewhere in July when I will be going to Dubrovnik with my family and I will let the sea take all my stress away… 🙂

    Baš super slani zalogajčići. 🙂 Leblebiju sam probala samo jednom u humusu, ali Znam da je jako zdrava i bogata proteinima tako da bi svakako bilo super uvrstiti je u ishranu malo češće.

What is your favourite citrus fruit? I love the smell of lime and taste of mandarines, specially if they are not too sweet. But all citrus fruit is just great! 😊✨

How about you, how does a happy place from your imagination looks like? 
Reality is nice and cozy too, going to have a slice of cake and a glass of milk now and watch a movie. Have a nice Saturday evening everyone! 🤗

Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 T Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 Today it was a beautiful cold and sunny morning, a long walk in the park with a friend talking about life. There is something that I noticed about myself lately, a shift within me, a change in a way I live and feel. The more I focus my gratitude on small moments, the more I feel at peace. The more I accept that not everything happens the way I would want to, the more I’m happy with what I have. Two years ago when life circumstances were actually much better for me in terms of work, socializing, opportunities for fun and travel, I was fighting depression, horrible anxiety, panic attacks, PTSP... Today when life is more challenging on every level, I feel more like myself again, stronger and hopeful. Sure bad day happens but that’s normal and that’s ok. It only shows how much we can do for ourselves with hard work, therapy, introspection, taking small steps each day... Sharing this in case somebody needs a bit of encouragement.❤️

Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m down: thick rich dark hot chocolate, good music, candles, writing down in my journal dreams - big and small, no matter how unrealistic they may seem at the moment... 😊 One thing that I’m grateful for is that no matter how difficult the circumstances, I can always daydream and imagine beautiful exciting things, places and experiences. Sometimes all we need is a bit of hope and imagination...✨
