Fritters

Step 2

Wrap zucchini in paper towel and squeeze out the excess moisture, then place in a bowl.

Step 3

Add in the capsicum, eggs, mint, flour and yeast and combine. Desired consistency of the mixture is that it holds together on an upside-down spoon for a second before falling. If mixture is too runny, add in more flour. If mixture is too thick, add in some water a little at a time.

Step 4

Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon about ¼ cup of mixture for each fritter onto the pan, cooking in batches of 3-4 fritters at a time. Cook fritters for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden.

Step 5

Serve with fritters loosely stacked topped with tomato relish and a green salad on the side, if desired.
