Step 1

Start by making the sauce. Blitz all the ingredients together in a food processor Neil a uniform green. Set aside for later

Step 2

Cut the leeks n to 2 cm thick slices, rinse and drain dry. Sauté the leeks and shallots in a pan with half the oil on a medium heat for about 15 mins or until soft. Transfer to a large bowl and add the chilli, parsley, spices, sugar and salt. Allow to cool down

Step 3

Whisk the egg white to soft peaks and fold it in to the vegetables. In another bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, whole egg, milk and butter to form a batter. Gently mix it in to the egg white and vegetable mixture

Step 4

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 in to the pan to make 4 large fritters. Fry them for 2-3 mins on each side or until golden and crisp. Remove to kitchen paper and keep warm. Continue making the fritters, adding more oil as needed. You should end up with about 8 large fritters. Serve warm with the sauce on the side or drizzled over
