Ingredients

• 50g plain flour *


• 3 eggs, beaten


• 2 tsp hot smoked paprika *


• 100g broccoli, finely chopped


• 2 courgettes, grated


• 50g spinach, finely chopped


• 1 garlic clove, crushed


• 20g dill, finely chopped


• 1 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying

For the tomato salsa

• 200g cherry tomatoes, quartered


• ½ red onion, finely chopped


• 25ml extra virgin olive oil


• 25g basil * leaves, torn

Method

Make the tomato salsa. Mix together the cherry tomatoes, red onion and extra virgin olive oil with a little salt and pepper. Set aside, and leave the basil for later.

To make the fritters, mix together the flour, eggs and hot smoked paprika in a large bowl. Add in the broccoli, courgette, spinach, crushed garlic and dill, with plenty of salt and pepper. Mix together until all the vegetables are well coated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan. Spoon in 2 tbsp-sized mounds of fritter batter in the pan, flatten with the back of the spoon and cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Once cooked, transfer to a board lined with kitchen roll. Repeat until all the mixture has gone.

Add the torn basil to the salsa. Divide the fritters between the plates, and serve with a large spoonful of salsa on top.
