Ingredients

Cauliflower, Raw

250 g, florets

White Self Raising Flour

75 g

Egg, whole, raw

2 medium, raw

Skimmed Milk

2½ tablespoon(s)

Beetroot

200 g, trimmed, peeled, coarsely grated

Chives, Fresh

1 teaspoon(s), roughly chopped

Olive Oil

3 teaspoon(s)

Ricotta Cheese

120 g

Smoked salmon

200 g

Dill, Fresh

1 teaspoon(s)

Parsley, fresh

10 sprig(s), fresh

Mint, Fresh

10 sprig(s)

Capers, in Brine

1 tablespoon(s)

Lemon

1 medium, cut into wedges to serve

Instructions

  1. Put the cauliflower florets in a food processor and blitz to form coarse grains that resemble rice. Bring a large pan of water to a boil, add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool, then squeeze out any excess liquid.
  2. Put the flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a jug, then pour the mixture into the flour and stir gently to combine. Fold in the cauliflower, beetroot and chives, then season well.
  3. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Making 4 fritters at a time, spoon 2 tbsp of the mixture into the pan for each fritter and use the back of a spoon to flatten each one to about 9cm round. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until cooked through and slightly crisp. Repeat twice, to make another 8 fritters, adding 1 tsp of oil to the pan before each batch.
  4. Divide the fritters between plates and serve 3 fritters per person, topped with the cheese, smoked salmon, herbs and capers. Season to taste and serve with the lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Make this veggie by swapping the smoked salmon for 4 poached eggs.
