This recipe was modified from one in the Coles Baby magazine. They are very easy to make and are a nice alternative to a meat dish, served with vegetables or salad. They can also be had as a snack (cold or warmed) on their own. or in sandwich or wrap.

- Using a steamer cook the peas and cabbage until tender.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, then add the chickpeas, cheese, peas, cabbage and sweet potato.
- Using a potato masher or fork, mash the mixture until the ingredients are combined and the mixture is firm. Mix in the bread crumbs or rice flour.
- Mould the patties into golf-ball sized balls then flatten slightly to make a neat patty.

Hi, this recipe looks great. Just wondering if you think it would work without the cheese for a low amine diet?
You probably could leave out the cheese it should still hold together. If dairy is OK you could substitute for cream cheese, which I have done and works fine.
