Broccoli, Lemon and Feta Fritters

Sharing is caring!

Light and summery, this fritters are made with broccoli, feta and lemon.

I love the flavours of these fritters as the lemon lifts the saltiness of the feta and goes well with the broccoli.  They can be great as a side dish, but sometimes I have these as a main with a salad.   This is also a good way to sneak some green veggies into your family’s diet.   I am always up for sneaking healthy food into dishes.  The Chief Taster is often stirring food suspiciously with a fork and asking me “have you put X  in this!”.

You could always make these ahead and let sit in the fridge before frying.
