Crispy Lime Powder & Za’atar Chickpea Fritters with Whipped Feta — a vibrant, tangy, herb-packed bite that’s the perfect mezze plate star.

Lime & Za’atar Chickpea Fritters with Whipped Feta

Typically described as:

Think falafel, but fresher, lighter, and with a citrus-herb kick. These fritters use Greenfields Lime Powder for a zing that cuts through the richness of chickpeas, and Greenfields Za’atar for an earthy, aromatic edge. Served with a cloud of whipped feta, they’re the kind of snack that disappears faster than you can fry them. Ideal for picnics, mezze platters, or even as a veggie burger alternative.

Makes 14–16 fritters, serves 4–6 as a starter.

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 12 minutes
Total: 27 minutes

For the fritters:

  • 2 x 400g tins chickpeas, drained & rinsed

  • 2 tbsp Greenfields Za’atar

  • 1½ tsp Greenfields Lime Powder

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Ground Cumin

  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 3 tbsp gram flour (or plain flour)

  • 1 egg (or 1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water for egg-free)

  • ½ tsp Himalayan Pink Salt (Fine)

  • 50ml olive oil (for shallow frying)

For the whipped feta:

  • 200g feta cheese

  • 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  1. In a food processor, pulse chickpeas until roughly broken but not puréed.

  2. Add za’atar, lime powder, cumin, spring onions, garlic, flour, egg (or chia egg), and salt. Pulse until mixture comes together but still has texture.

  3. Shape into small patties, about 4cm wide.

  4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook fritters for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

  5. For the whipped feta, blitz feta, yoghurt, lemon zest, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.

  6. Serve fritters warm with a generous dollop of whipped feta and a sprinkle of extra za’atar.

Add chopped fresh parsley or coriander for extra herbiness. Make mini versions for party canapés. They freeze well — reheat in the oven to crisp up.
