Ingredients

veggie loaded fritters:

  • 1 zucchini, grated
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 large sweet potato, grated
  • 200 gram piece of pumpkin, grated
  • 250 grams halloumi, grated
  • 2 heaped tablespoons store-bought basil pesto
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup (150 grams) plain flour
  • 4 eggs
  • sea salt, to season

herbed yoghurt:

  • 1 cup (250 grams) greek (or natural) yoghurt
  • small handful of dill, finely chopped
  • small handful of mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt, to season

Instructions

To make the veggie loaded fritters:

  1. Place the zucchini, carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, halloumi, pesto, lemon zest, garlic, plain flour, eggs and sea salt into a large bowl.
  2. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  3. Heat a large fry pan over low-medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to grease.
  4. Ladle heaped tablespoon measurements of the batter onto the fry pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip the fritters and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Or until the fritters are golden and bounce back to touch.
  5. Place the cooked fritters onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and continue frying until no batter remains. Alternatively, place fritters onto an oven tray and keep warm in a preheated oven.

To make the herbed yoghurt:

  1. Place the yoghurt, dill, mint, lemon juice, olive oil and salt into a small bowl.
  2. Whisk to combine.
  3. Serve the gorgeously golden fritters alongside the herbed yoghurt. Enjoy x

Notes
