Method

1. Whisk the egg until frothy. Add the grated veg or roughly mash the cooked veg and add it. Mix with the garlic, a good pinch of salt and pepper, your choice of spices and herbs or greens. Dust ½ the flour over and give it a good mix. Add a bit more flour if the mix still looks quite wet.

2. Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a good gloss of oil.

3. Scoop up your veg mix into golf ball-sized spoonfuls. Dollop into the pan and flatten with a spatula or the back of a spoon. You should be able to cook about 3 fritters at a time (2-3 fritters each makes a good starter or side dish). Sizzle until golden on each side.

4. Delicious with yogurt, mango chutney or chilli jam.
