Instructions

Step 1
Cut the leaks into 1 inch thick slices; rinse and drain dry.
Step 2
Sauté the leaks and shallots in a pan with half the oil on medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until soft.
Step 3
Transfer to a large bowl and add the chili, parsley, spices, sugar and salt. Allow to cool down.
Step 4
Whisk the egg white to soft peaks and fold it into the vegetables.
Step 5
In another bowl, mix together at the flour, baking powder, whole egg, milk and butter to form a batter. Gently mix it into the egg white and vegetable mixture.
Step 6
Put 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil in a large frying pan and place over a medium heat. Spoon about half of the vegetable mixture into the pan to make for large fritters. Fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the fritters to paper towels and keep warm. Continue making the fritters, adding more oil as needed. You should end up with about eight large fritters.
