Öcce Fritters with Spring Onion and Fresh Herbs

• 份量: 4 servings

配料

6 spring onions (scallions), trimmed and finely chopped

5 garlic cloves, finely chopped

30 g (1 oz) fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

130 g (4¼ oz) flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (including stems)

1 teaspoon pul biber or red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon ground cumin

85 g (3 oz/2/3 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour (use gram/chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)

55 g (2 oz) beyaz peynir or feta, crumbled (optional)

3 medium eggs, beaten

light olive oil or groundnut oil, for shallow frying

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

步骤

Combine the spring onions, garlic, fresh mint, parsley, pul biber and cumin in a large bowl. Using your hands, combine the mixture well. Add the flour and cheese (if using) and stir in the beaten eggs, then season with salt and pepper, and combine well into a batter.

Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large non-stick frying pan (skillet) (about 25 cm/10 in in diameter) over a medium–high heat. Drop tablespoons of the batter mix into the hot oil, spoonful by spoonful, leaving space between each one. Shallow fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels.
