Chick pea fries:

These bad boys sort of taste like chicken nuggets (according to a trusty meat eater) and are delish as a fry or even as a pattie in a burger.

1 1/4 cup chick pea flour
1/2 tsp pepper
2 garlic finely minced
1/2 tsp chilli powder
3/4 tsp sea salt
Pepper
2 cups water

Mix together dry ingredients. Gradually whisk in the water. Pour into saucepan and cook low heat about 8 mins till thick, whisking the whole time.

Spread evenly onto parchment paper line tray. (about 1/2 inch thick). Chill at least three hours.

Slice into desired shape and cook in coconut oil (or veg oil) in a hot fry pan. About four minutes or untill golden and crispy both sides.

Grilled corn:

Boil corn untill pretty much cooked. Meanwhile mix in a small bowl a few Tablespoons of mayo, healthy squirt of lime and chilli powder. Let corn cool and brush on mayo mixture. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or parmesan and grill until golden all sides. Top with more lime juice and parmesan to Finnish.
