Simple, flavoursome fritters – ideal as part of a gluten-free, vegetarian and paleo breakfast or lunch.
By Emma of Paleo With Mrs P.
I wanted to share these courgette, spring onion and lime fritters with you as they are so simple to make, with only a few pantry staples and taste divine. They are great on their own as a snack or as an accompaniment to any breakfast or brunch dish. Alternatively you could use them on top of a homemade beef / lamb and mint burger with some tomato salsa.
This recipe is: gluten-free, vegetarian and paleo.
Ingredients
- 250g courgette, grated
- 20g spring onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- ½ a lime, juice
- 30g ground almonds (or almond flour)
- 1tsp sea salt
- 3tsp coconut oil
Method
- In to a mixing bowl place the grated courgette, egg, salt, spring onions, lime juice and ground almonds
- Mix with a wooden spoon until a batter is created
- In to a frying pan over high heat place 3 tsp coconut oil
- Place one heaped tbsp of batter in to the pan and spread out a little so that its about 2 cm thick
- Allow the underside to cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden and you can flip it (gently)
- Allow the other side to cook for a further 2-3 minutes until golden brown
- Repeat until you have used all the batter
- Serve straight from the pan or allow to cool and have cold later on.
