Ingredients
- 1 medium head broccoli – cut into florets
- 3 free-range eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large garlic clove – finely diced
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 2 cups grated Tasty Light Cheese
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- Olive oil for frying fritters
- Garlic & mint yoghurt
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yoghurt
- 1 large garlic clove – finely diced
- Handful fresh mint leaves - roughly chopped
- Zest of 1 lime
To serve: additional fresh mint leaves, lime wedges
Method
- Combine all the yoghurt sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Steam broccoli florets until tender. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Lay out on a chopping board and roughly dice.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic, tapioca flour and grated cheese. Season well. Stir through broccoli.
- Heat a glug of olive oil in a sauté pan over a medium heat. Cook heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture (you should be able to fit 4 at a time in the pan). Spread the broccoli pieces out a little over the surface of the fritter before flipping. You can also tidy up any stray tendrils of batter with the spatula or back of a spoon. Cook for 3 minutes on both sides until golden brown.
- Repeat until all the batter is used.
- Serve the fritters with the yoghurt dip on the side. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime wedges.
Leftover fritters can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
