Easter Eats: Zucchini and Onion Fritters

 

Easter brunch sorted.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup buckwheat flour

1 1/3 cup milk of your choice

1/2 tsp cumin

sea salt

black pepper

1/2 red onion, finely sliced

1/2 zucchini

Oil for frying

2 tbs radish pickles (or other pickles)

2 tbs natural yogurt (or coconut to keep it vegan)

1/2 tsp sumac

1 tbs of toasted nuts/seeds (I used pistachios, pine nuts and sesame seeds)

2 figs, sliced

2 handfuls of fresh mint & coriander

Method

Heat the oven to 160 degrees. Mix the flour, milk and cumin together until you have a smooth batter. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the onion and zucchini and stir to combine.

Heat a good glug of oil in a frying pan. Once hot, carefully spoon in a two tablespoons of the mixture. Use the back of the spoon to flatten them out a bit, they’re better thinner and crispy. Cook for around a minute then flip. The fritter should be a deep golden colour.

Transfer to a plate, place in the oven to keep warm. Cook the rest of the fritters. Serve with the yogurt sprinkled with sumac, figs, fresh herbs and nuts.
