Broccoli Fritters

Crispy, salty and moreish. We still can't believe that these nutrient dense fritters taste so good. We use broccoli since it contains many vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. It also gives the fritters a gorgeous green colour.

Method

1. 1

   Remove the stem from the broccoli and break up the head into florets (see notes on how to use the stem). Next finely chop the florets or blitz in a food processor until fine.

   
2. 2

   Add the finely chopped broccoli florets to a large mixing bowl along with the lemon zest, dijon mustard, dill, spring onion, garlic, capers and large pinches of salt and pepper. 

   
3. 3

   Next, in a small bowl combine the chickpea flour and plain flour along with the water until smooth. Pour this batter over the broccoli mixture and toss until fully combined.

   
4. 4

   Divide the broccoli mixture into six, then take one piece and squeeze it into the palm of your hand to shape it into a fritter. Transfer the fritter to a plate and repeat until you’ve shaped six fritters.

   
5. 5

   Heat a generous glug of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. Once hot, add 2-3 fritters to the pan and use a spatula to gently push the fritter down so it spreads out a little. Fry for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

   
6. 6

   We like to serve these with a dollop of yoghurt.
