Broccoli Fritters

Serves 6 fritters
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 1 medium broccoli
  • 1 lemon zest only
  • 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 handful of fresh dill finely chopped
  • 2 spring onions finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled + finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp capers roughly chopped
  • salt + pepper
  • 4 tbsp chickpea flour
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 5 tbsp water
  • olive oil for frying
  • plant-based yoghurt to serve optional

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Next, in a separate small bowl combine the chickpea flour, plain flour and water. Mix until smooth, then pour this batter over the broccoli mixture and toss until fully combined.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • We like to serve these with a dollop of yoghurt.
