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.

I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted t I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted to say hello! 😊 My Summer has been a combination of precious time with family and friends, swimming in the mornings on ‘my beach’ in Dubrovnik, some interesting shoots, ice creams and watermelon, mum’s delicious food, reading books on my favourite terrace in the world, laughing with my niece and nephew until my stomach hurts from laughter and many other ‘ordinary’ beautiful moments. Summer is still here but I’m slowly getting excited about the next season and all the beauty it brings! ☺️❤️

Before I post on the blog a travel story from my t Before I post on the blog a travel story from my trip to Tuscany and its charming towns, here are some images from one of my favourite, San Quirico d’Orcia. I liked it even more because it was raining and the mood was just so special and beautiful! 
☺️🌧️
This trip was all about smaller towns so we didn’t even go to Florence on this occasion but we visited 12 towns in 5 days and I can’t wait to share with you my favourite photos from the trip! ❤️
