Spicy Celeriac & Black Onion Seed Fritter


So many women fall down - or taking a flying leap - off the healthy eating wagon in the evening. More often than not it's because you come home late from work or you're exhausted from looking after the kids and assume you haven't got time to cook. Solution? Fast food or a takeaway.
The truth is though if you're prepared to experiment with cooking you can always rustle something up in less than 30mins. And it tastes damn good by that time. This was my post yoga meal using leftovers in the frige (shoot me if I sound like Nigella - agh!)

Ingredients (makes five)
Celeriac, 2 inch thick grated
1 carrot, grated
Tin of chick peas, mashed
1/2 onion chopped thinly
1 tomato, diced
1/2 slice of rye bread, crumbled
1 egg, beaten
1 chilli finely chopped
1tsp of black onion seed
Salt and pepper
Chopped parsley
Polenta/cornmeal for coating
Combine all the dry ingredients and then add the egg until it is moist enough to pick up and mould. gently mould into thin patties - it will be delicate so don't worry about this. Coat on a plate covered in cornmeal and then place in a hot - oil free - pan. It will crisp up lovely. Serve with salad
Admittedly, pic is not good!
