Recipe of the day: Chicken frikkadel bowl

This recipe is easy to make, refreshing and healthy. Heat a layer of olive oil in a pan. Cook the frikkadels in batches until golden and cooked through.

Dish the frikkadels into bowls. Add the tomatoes, carrots, chickpeas and a generous spoonful of tzatziki. Crumble feta over the bowls, garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.

To make the frikkadels, place all of the ingredients, except the oil, in a bowl and mix well. Line a tray with baking paper and shape the mixture into 20 balls. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking to them.

Arrange on the tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes. To make the tzatziki, coarsely grate the cucumber. Place in a colander over a plate, sprinkle with salt, and set aside to drain for a few minutes.

Combine the yoghurt, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl. Squeeze out the cucumber and add to the yoghurt. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate until serving time. Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Pat the chickpeas dry and remove any loose skins.

Place in a bowl with the olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt. Toss together well and spread out on a tray. Bake the chickpeas for 35 minutes or until golden and crispy.
