Chickpea, Chilli and Coriander Cakes with Marinated Red Onion Salad

Chickpea, Chilli and Coriander Cakes with Marinated Red Onion Salad

At the football club we're always trying out new ideas for vegetarians (ie the real ones who don't eat fish). This one's a real winner and can hold its own against any meat or fish recipe. If you're serving it as a main course, it's nice with some nutty brown rice.

Buttermilk makes a superb marinade – so much so you’ll wonder why you ever needed oil. The chicken will be luscious and tender and, with all the other wonderful flavours, you’ll forget this is in any way a diet recipe. This is also good served with Fresh Coriander Chutney from Book One.

Dessert

Squidgy Chocolate Cakes with Prunes in Marsala

So, here follows what I hope will be a ground-breaking recipe!
