Directions
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend for 5-10 seconds, until the mixture is fairly coarse (you can use a hand-held blender). Push the mixture down with a spatula and blend for a further 10 seconds.

Remove the blades from the processor, wet your hands under the cold water tap and shape the mixture into 20 small balls.

Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper. Place the balls on the tray and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly coloured. Remove from the oven and allow to rest.

Serve with sweet potato wedges and a crunchy raw salad of sugar snap peas, radishes, grated carrot, sliced celery and fennel dressed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
