vegetarian fritters

A super simple fritter recipe – great for breakfasts, brunches and lunches – or even a lighter dinner. Kids love them!Budget-saving tips:Always shop in season for vegetables – don’t buy courgette in winter or parsnip in summer as they’ll be either more expensive and less flavourful and often both! And if a recipe calls for part of a block of feta, pop the leftovers in the freezer.  

Vegetable Fritters

600 g fresh, or frozen vegetables

self-raising flour

tsp salt

eggs, whisked

herbs/cheese/spices*

olive oil

Grate or finely chop the vegetables  - courgette, parsnip, carrot, pumpkin, potato, broccoli, beans, peas, spinach etc – and place in a large bowl. Add in the flour, salt, eggs and whatever herbs, cheese and spices you’re using (see below for some suggestions).

Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and cook ¼ cupfuls of mixture until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Serve with chutney and salad.

TRY THESE COMBOS - DEPENDING ON THE SEASON:Courgette - with 1 teaspoon dried dill, ¼ cup chopped mint, 100g crumbled feta and 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind.Carrot - with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 3 chopped spring onions and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.Kumara - with 1 teaspoon dried dill, 3 chopped spring onions, 100g crumbled feta, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.Cauliflower florets - roughly chopped with 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

These crispy black bean croquettes are a super easy vegetarian appetizer to serve for a Cinco de Mayo party. They're made with only five ingredients and are ready in just 30 minutes!

Black Bean Croquettes Recipe

black beans, drained and rinsed

salsa

bread crumbs *See tip

avocado

Pulse beans and salsa in a food processor fitted with the steel blade attachment until it forms a coarse paste. Add egg, and pulse 4 to 5 times. Scrape sides and add 1 ½ cups bread crumbs. Pulse, scraping sides as needed until incorporated but not too smooth.

Divide mixture into 12 croquettes, 2 generous tablespoons each. Place the remaining ¾ cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish and roll the croquettes into the breadcrumbs. Set aside.

Heat oil in straight-sided skillet or saucepan over medium high heat until 350 degrees F. Gently lower 6 croquettes 1 at a time into the hot oil. Let cook, flipping once with a slotted spatula, until the breadcrumbs are deeply golden and the croquettes are hot all the way through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining 6 croquettes, adjusting heat to make sure oil temperature remains around 350 degrees. Serve hot with salsa.

These were delish with homemade guacamole! I'm going to whip up another batch for Cinco de Mayo, per your suggestion! :) YUM!!!

These were super tasty! Will definitely be making again. Thanks! :)

Very very good. Make with sourdough breadcrumbs and they were delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Yum! These croquettes were super easy to make and turned out nice and crispy! They were the perfect appetizer for our Mexican dinner tonight!

I normally make black bean burgers but these croquettes are next on my list. They look so moreish and crispy!

Easy Cottage Cheese Fritters with Salsa

oz potato

Salt

breadcrumbs

onion ((grated))

paprika powder

tsp caraway seeds, ground

5.5 oz cottage cheese

vegetable oil

chili ((chopped))

mint, fresh ((chopped))

tsp honey

tsp apple vinegar

pomegranate seeds

Salt and pepper

½ cup lentils, cooked

vegetable broth

Grate

Grate the potato and onion and place on a fine mesh sieve. Sprinkle over the salt and rest on top of a bowl for 10-20 minutes.

Into a bowl add breadcrumbs, egg, paprika, caraway seeds, cottage cheese and mix.

Squeeze

Go back to the grated potato on the sieve and squeeze out as much excess liquid as you can using your hand.

Add the potato into the bowl and mix thoroughly.

Add vegetable oil to a large non-stick pan and fry fritters over medium-low heat until both sides have a deep golden brown colour (about 1 ½ - 2 tbsp of batter per fritter). I recommend squishing the fritters down so that they are thin (½ cm). I also wait a full 8 minutes before flipping. This helps the potato cook and the fritters stay together much better.

Potato Cottage Cheese Fritters

Prepare

Remove the leaves from the stalk of the chard. Roughly chop the green leaves and finely dice the stalk into small pieces. Add to a pot on low heat together with the vegetable broth.

Add the lentils. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Lentil Chard Side

Meanwhile make the salsa. Chop chilli and mint leaves and add to a medium sized bowl with honey, vinegar, olive oil, pomegranate kernels and salt. Mix until incorporated.

Serve

Serve fritters with pomegranate salsa and the lentil chard side. Season with black pepper per taste.
