BROCCOLI & FETA FRITTERS WITH GARLIC YOGHURT

1. Finely chop the broccoli into small chunks and steam for 5-6 minutes until tender but not mushy. Transfer to a separate bowl and roughly mash. 

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then add parmesan, feta, spring onions, herbs, garlic, flour, chilli flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. 

3. Stir in the mashed broccoli and mix until fully combined. The batter will be thick. 

4. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Scoop 1-2 heaped tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the pan, pressing down slightly with the back of a spoon. 

5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter. 

6. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, and salt to make the garlic yoghurt. 

7. Serve the fritters warm with a generous dollop of garlic yoghurt. Optionally, add a fresh cucumber and parsley salad, a drizzle of chilli oil, a sprinkle of za’atar, and smoked salmon, bacon, or poached eggs for extra indulgence.
