Serving Suggestions

Note

• By squeezing as much moisture out of the grated carrots as possible, you are avoiding ‘soggy’ fritters.
• If you don’t have Moroccan seasoning you can use 1 teaspoon each of cumin and turmeric, a little cinnamon and salt.
• A spritz of lemon or lime would be lovely. Add some salad if you like or a little bread on the side.
