#GlutenFree Chickpea Fritters for #SundaySupper
I’ve had to look into so many things with regards to how we eat our food today. With all the various food sensitivities out there, it is so important to pay attention to foods that can cause illness to you or your loved ones. I have had to learn about Gluten from a friend of mine who is sensitive to wheat products. I was not aware of Celiac Disease/Gluten Sensitivity before my friend shared her situation with me. I was more familiar with common food allergies/sensitivities like dairy, nuts and shellfish. Today’s #SundaySupper theme is all about meals prepared for either health or dietary restrictions. So whether it be Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free, Nut Free – we will have something to share with you today.
Our host this week is Bea from Not So Cheesy Kitchen. Bea’s blog is dedicated to sharing meals and information about a rare metabolic disorder called Classic Galactosemia. This particular disorder prevents the body from processing sugar galactose properly. Bea has been able to allow her family to thrive by preparing special meals that are free from galactose, with guidance from her metabolic clinic. Bea is a true champion! Having a restricted diet has its many challenges, but Bea manages it well and shares her recipes and experiences with us on her blog. Thank you , Bea! And Thank you for hosting this theme that is so close to your heart.
Today I am sharing with you a Gluten Free Fritter using Chickpeas, Scallions, and tomatoes. I really like fritters. There is something about them that I find so comforting. Perhaps it’s because my grandma used to make saltfish fritters for me, I’m not sure. They are so easy to make and such a practical snack. Everyone should be able to enjoy fritters of some kind. They can be served as a side dish or as a snack.

I really enjoyed these chickpea fritters. It’s always great to know you can create more than just hummus with a can of chickpeas. Scallions bring a lovely flavour to the fritters and pair nicely with the Tomatoes. Any tomato will do, as long as you remove the seeds first. You only need about a cup of diced tomatoes.
I used this opportunity to use the Gluten-Free Flour that I had in my pantry. Instead of using a full cup the GF flour for this recipe, I went half and half with Quinoa Flour – another Gluten Free flour.
I also shredded a handful of spinach to give the fritters some added nutrition as well as a beautiful hint of green!
I’m very happy to have made a #GlutenFree dish for today’s #SundaySupper. Although I do not have a Gluten sensitivity, I will always try to make a variety of recipes that can assist other readers with special diets. Hope you enjoyed my recipe today.

mhm your fritters remind me of a dish here, but I don’t know the name. I came across it while traveling by train and I remember that I was surprised how well chickpea works in fritters. I can’t wait to try your recipe Lyn. Enjoy your sunday. =D
Love, love, love these! On my to do list for my little vegetarian! She will love this dish!

Yum! This reminds me of pakora but I don’t believe pakoras have whole chickpeas – I love that this does!

Lyn – these look absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to try them – I love Fritters and have yet to make them at home. This is the perfect recipe and it is also dairy free 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words and explanation of Classic Galactosemia. I appreciate it so much! ~ Bea

Mmm. The fritters look so yummy and good for you! I love when that happens =)
Thank you, for the recipe and the intro to quinoa flour =)
It’s not easy photographing fritters but you did it so well! I haven’t seen quinoa flour before, though I can definitely get quinoa here. You reckon blending up some quinoa would produce the same result?

I don’t think I’ve ever met a fritter I didn’t love. Your chick pea version looks marvelous!

Lyn, these are gorgeous photos! Your fritters look amazing, so crispy on the outside. I love fritters too. It’s great making a big batch, keeping them in the fridge and toasting one when I get hungry. I want to start baking gluten free but my pantry is already stuffed to the gills with flours, sugars, and other baking stuff. If I stock up on gluten free flours, I’ll have to keep it in my closet 😉
