Notes

Serves 2 as a meal with a side salad.

1. Cornflour/cornstarch – Makes the fritters crispier than just using regular flour. Substitute with rice flour (also crispy) or regular flour (less crispy but still tasty, I would not hesitate to make this with just plain flour)

2. Pea substitutes – Other frozen or raw diced vegetables will work too (carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, celeriac, capsicum/bell peppers, green beans, even fresh peas!). But they will need to be pre cooked, well drained then cooled before mixing into the batter (unless using pre-cooked frozen vegetables).

3. Cheese – Use your favourite melting cheese. If using mozzarella, best to use 3/4 cup mozzarella + 1/4 cup parmesan because it’s more mild flavoured than other cheeses (like cheddar). You could also use feta but the fritter won’t be as crispy.

4. Gluten free flour – Reader has reported success making this with GF flour!

Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days. I pan fried to re-heat so the surface crisps up again.
