| Haloumi, Pea and Mint Fritters |
Fritters are one of my favourite quick brunch dishes. This combination of slightly chewy haloumi, fresh mint and peas is one of the best
Serves 4
Haloumi, Pea and Mint Fritters ingredients: 1 cup peas. fresh or thawed if using frozen. knob of butter. 3 spring onions, finely sliced. 2 zucchini, diced. 2 cloves garlic, crushed. 200 grams haloumi cheese, diced 1 cm pieces. olive oil for cooking fritters
Batter: 3/4 cup self-raising flour. 1 teaspoon sea salt. 1/4 cup chopped mint. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. pinch chilli flakes. 3 eggs. thick plain yoghurt. watercress or rocket
Haloumi, Pea and Mint Fritters recipe
Fritters: Melt the butter in a saute pan and cook the spring onions, zucchini and garlic with a good pinch of salt for 4 minutes. Add the peas and cook for 1 minute. Cool
Batter: Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Stir the cooled vegetables and haloumi into the batter
To cook: Heat a little olive oil in a sauté pan and cook large spoonfuls of the mixture for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. You should get 12 fritters. Place the fritters in a warm oven until they are all cooked
To serve: Arrange the fritters on plates and if using, add the roasted beetroot, a dollop of yoghurt and the watercress. By then, the haloumi, pea and mint fritters is ready
