A few weeks ago, you all might have purchased some harissa paste; if you found it, it's now returning in our chickpea fritters. These are like baby pancakes, and everyone's gonna be addicted to their smoky flavor. We couldn't stop snacking on these!

Make

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Add half the cooking oil (if using a griddle, you can use all the oil) and then spoon batter (~1/4 cup / 59 ml per fritter) into heated oil. Cook on each side for ~3 minutes, until golden. After you flip for the first time, you can press down on the fritter to flatten it out and make it cook a bit faster. Transfer to a plate and repeat with rest of oil and batter.
  2. Heat another pan (like a saute pan) over medium-high heat. Add butter and then garlic and onions to melted butter with a sprinkle of salt. Saute until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Next fold in corn and peas and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until everything is warmed through.
  4. Fold in spinach with cream, paprika, salt, and pepper. Finish with lime juice, and season to taste with more s&p as needed.
  5. Enjoy chickpea fritters with your buttered corn, peas, and spinach!
