Ingredients

1 zucchini, grated

1 egg

2 tbsp chickpea flour, or rice flour

1 tbsp chopped coriander, or parsley

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/4 tsp salt

a pinch of chilli flakes

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

TO SERVE

1-2 eggs, poached

1-2 small tomatoes, cut into wedges

a handful of rocket

Green Summer Sauce

a pinch of chilli flakes

Method

Place zucchini, egg, chickpea flour, herbs, spices, salt and chilli in a bowl and whisk with a fork to combine.

Heat oil in a frypan over a medium heat, swirling to coat the base. Cook generous spoonfuls of batter until golden and cooked through (about 2 minutes each side).

While the fritters are cooking, poach the eggs. Bring a pot of water to the boil with 1 tbsp white vinegar. Reduce temperature to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup and then gently lower into the water one at a time. Cook until just set (about 3-4 minutes) then use a slotted spoon to carefully remove from water.

Serve fritters with poached eggs, tomato, rocket and a drizzle of Green Summer Sauce. Sprinkle with chilli flakes, if desired.

SWAP IT OUT

Switch up the flavour profile by using mint in place of coriander or parsley and adding a little crumbled feta.
