Vegetable fritters

Recipe

  • Preparation:
  • Peel and finely chop the onions and shallots. Crush the garlic. Peel and grate the carrots and cabbage or celery. Mix all the vegetables together. Wash the herbs, spin them dry and chop finely. Add them to the vegetables with the egg and flour. Mix until you have a fairly thick batter, adding a little water if necessary. Season with salt, pepper and chilli to taste.
  • Heat 3 cm oil in a saucepan. Once the oil is hot, add a spoonful of batter and then another. Turn the fritter over as soon as it floats. Cook until pale gold in colour, drain on absorbent paper and keep warm. Continue until all the batter is used up. Serve hot.

Tip

Fritters can be made with all kinds of vegetables: squashes (pumpkin or gourds), courgettes, aubergines etc. Choose a balanced mix of colours and season with plenty of chilli.
Taste the first fritter to check whether it is salty or spicy enough.
