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.
INGREDIENTS
375g broccoli, chopped and trimmed florets
120 g feta, crumbled
1 egg, beaten
2 clove garlic, chopped
2 tblspn coconut flour
rind and juice of 1 lemon

They look good but I wouldn't make them again as it's very hard to keep them in the shape of a fritter... Every single one I made broke when I turned them around (very gently) in the pan. Very frustrating. I added another egg to try bind more after all the breaking, and found 1 lemon to be too much - resulted in too sour end product. Perhaps reduce lemon to half, add another egg, add more coconut flour to bind? Maybe someone else has better luck that I did 😐
That's a shame Sune. Perhaps if you squeeze any excess water out of the broccoli they might bind more?
These look so goooood!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy them!

Thanks Lucy! Hope you enjoy them!
is there a sheep or goat feta cheese?
I use a sheep but the goats cheese feta would be good too.
