Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tbsp cheese, grated

Lots of healthy and delicious ingredients

Method

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat. Fry the onion for about 5 minutes, until softened.

Add the garlic and zucchini to the pan and fry for a further 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid from the zucchini has evaporated. To speed up the cooking time, try squeezing any excess liquid from the zucchini prior to cooking.

Place the chickpeas, eggs, flour, curry powder, cumin and seasonings into a food processor. Blend until the ingredients are combined.

Combine the chickpea and zucchini mixtures. Pour the mix into a well-greased loaf tin and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake the mixture for 35 minutes or until the cheese is a golden brown colour. Allow the loaf to sit in the tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a board. Cut into slices and serve.

Delicious by itself...

Or with your favourite vegetables

You can serve this loaf with a salad and some yoghurt or steamed vegetables and a little tahini as a dipping sauce. This meal also works well as leftovers, cold or reheated.
