Ingredients

Fresh fennel leaves

Eggs

Flour

Corse starch

Salt

Pepper

Dried coriander

Vegetable Oil

Alternative ingredients

You can substitute the Fennel leaves with:

Grated Zucchini

Grated Potatoes

Onions & Parsley

or any other combination of veggies.

Method

Mix the eggs in a food processor, add the salt, pepper and dried coriander. Add a generous amount of washed and dried fresh fennel leaves. When the mixture is homogenous, gradually add the flour and 2 -3 tbsp of starch while checking the consistency. It should feel just like thick yogurt.

In a fairly deep pan, heat the vegetable oil. To test the temperature, put a small dollop. If it sizzles immediatly, the oil is ready. With a large spoon, gently drop the mixture and pat to shape it into a disc. Wait till crispy on one side, then flip. The fritter is done when it is golden on both sides.

Pro Tips

• Make sure to remove the fritters from the oil a little lighter in color than wanted, it will keep browning while cooling.

• For extra crispiness, start with high heat, then before removing, lower the heat so the fritter can completely cook from the inside.

• When the frying is done, place the fritters on a rack for cooling so the air circulates all around them. This will prevet them from absorbing extra oil and becoming soggy.
