Gorgeously Green Fritters with Radish Microgreens

Gorgeously Green Fritters with Radish Microgreens

This gorgeous green fritter recipe is sneakily stuffed with greens so that picky eaters can’t find them! Fritters are so versatile; any leftovers can be given a second life in fritter-form. I love these green fritters because they are full of vitamins, minerals, and micro-nutrients, thanks to the addition of our radish microgreens.

They are great as a snack, lunchbox treat, or side to your dinner, they are quick to make and deliciously wholesome! You can add or change veggies as you have left-over in the fridge, but the combination of spinach and baby marrow is a winner for me. The radish microgreens are crunchy and flavourful, and look incredibly pretty once fried into these veggie nuggets of gold!

You’ll need:

· 2 cups spinach, finely shredded
· 4 baby marrows, grated
· 1 cup New Life Microgreens Radish Mix
· 2 cloves garlic, minced
· 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
· 1 large egg
· 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
· salt and pepper, to taste
· olive oil for frying
· lemon wedges, for serving

 

Instructions:

· Mix all the veggies together in a bowl. Add egg and mix through. Add flour until you have a thick-ish paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
· Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Scoop tablespoons full of mix into the pan and flatten with the back of the spoon, making sure they are compact and not “cracking.”
· Slowly fry until golden brown. Flip once and drain on a paper towel.
· Serve with more radish microgreens and lemon wedges.
· Use fresh garlic – the garlic you get pre-packed in the tubs is too strong for the fritters and will overpower the rest of the ingredients.
· You can use any other type of hard cheese, like pecorino, if you don’t have parmesan.
· Don’t be shy with the black pepper! It really adds a lovely zing to the fritters. Enjoy!
