Zucchini fritters

I've gone zucchini crazy!! Here is a great recipe I made last night:

Ingredients
3 medium sized zucchinis
2 small carrot
1 small onion
About half a cup SR flour
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted
Handful of fresh chopped coriander
4 eggs, separated
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Oil for frying

Method
  1. Shred zucchini and carrot lengthways using a mandolin (or coarsely grate) and place in a large bowl, add onion, flour and cumin seeds, fresh coriander and mix through.
  2. Stir egg yolks through and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Whisk eggwhites to firm peaks and gently fold through fritter mixture.
  4. Depending on how much moisture is in your vegetables, you may need to add more SR flour at this point - it should look like a batter.
  5. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place a good sized serving spoonful and leave until you see bubbles forming on the surface (and the underside is golden brown). Flip and repeat.

Nadz Notes:

  • I think this would also be great with ground cumin or coriander in there.
  • Also - would probably work with sweet potato, potato, pumpkin...
  • Great for breakfast
  • I think this would also be great with tzatziki.
  • These could be frozen or kept in the fridge and reheated in the microwave.
  • What I had for lunch today: Zucchini fritter (reheated in the microwave), light cream cheese, Thai cashew nut dip (just bought at the shops), rocket, sliced tomato, sliced avocado and topped with smoked salmon.

I keep singing the praises of my mandolin/v-slicer - it just makes vegetable dishes SO EASY!!
