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

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.

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.

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.

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.
