Ingredients

Ingredients

160 grams of chopped broccoli
1 long green shallot / scallion, sliced
1 small clove of garlic, sliced
4 large mint leaves (or 8 small)
2 tablespoons of quinoa flour (can use almond meal)
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
1 small egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil or cold pressed coconut oil
1/2 cucumber, sliced into ribbons
1 handful of salad greens

Dressing

2 tablespoons of greek yoghurt (or plain coconut yoghurt or coconut milk)
1 small clove of garlic,sliced
Zest of 1 Lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves
Pinch of sea salt

Method

  1. Make the dressing by blitzing all ingredients in a *small blender and pop into the fridge while you make the fritters.  If your yoghurt is thick you may need to add a few teaspoons of water to get a more fluid dressing consistency.
  2. Wash & dry the blender and then add the broccoli, garlic, shallot & mint.  Blitz for a few seconds until broccoli looks like rice grains and all ingredients are blended well.  Put into a bowl, add the quinoa flour, spices & salt and mix well.  Then add the beaten egg and mix well again.  Set aside while you heat the oil in a pan to a medium heat.
  3. Form 3 patties with broccoli mixture and push together gently so they will hold their form in the pan.  Cook in the pan for approx. 3-4 minutes each side, checking occasionally to make sure they are not cooking too fast or the pan is too hot.  After 3-4 minutes each side they should be golden brown.
  4. Serve with the salad ingredients and yoghurt dressing.  Enjoy!

 

*Note if you don’t have a small blender you can use a mortar & pestle or just mince and chop your ingredients finely and mix together for the dressing.
