Notes
*Vegetable and flavour variations to try;Courgette with 1 teaspoon dried dill, ¼ cup chopped mint, 100g crumbled feta and 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind.Carrot with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 3 chopped spring onions and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.Kumara with 1 teaspoon dried dill, 3 chopped spring onions, 100g crumbled feta, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.Cauliflower florets roughly chopped with 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon chopped parsleyTips and HintsFor crispy fritters use half rice flour and half regular flour.Rice flour can also be used in total to make gluten free fritters.Transferring the fritters to a preheated oven (180°C) helps to make sure the fritters are cooked through and also keep them warm while the others are still cooking.Excess feta can be frozen and added to recipes at a later date. The flavour will stay the same although it may lose some texture.
