  • 1 clove Garlic finely sliced
  • 70 g Plain flour
  • 60 g Cheese finely grated
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 4 tbsp Water

For The Dip

  • ½ Pot Plain Greek Yoghurt
  • ¼ Clove Garlic
  • ½ tsp Green herbs
  • ⅛ tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Fry the onion and red pepper in some oil until the onion has turned translucent and sweetened.

  2. Meanwhile, add yogurt, a pinch of salt, ¼ clove garlic and some herbs to a food processor and whizz up into a simple tasty dip. Decant into a bowl. Do not rinse food processor as the remaining ingredients will just add flavour to the patties.

  3. Add the garlic and continue to fry until browned.

  4. Add vegetables and all other ingredients to a food processor and pulse until combined. The mixture should be mashed but does not need to be entirely smooth.
