You Can Fritt Anything.

When discussing the virtues of the humble fritter with a friend, he concluded that you could 'fritt' anything.

You can fritt grated carrot, potato, peas, corn, eggplant...anything. As long as you've got eggs and cheese, you can fritt. As a result, our kids eat plenty of fritters while Dave and I prefer to eat... well, just about anything else.

But last night, we made some seriously fabulous fritters of the adult variety. Don't talk to me about a frozen 3 cheese medley, no no. Let's discuss delicious, salty haloumi.

This is a super easy, affordable family meal. It's vegetarian and full of flavour. If you don't have zucchini, you could substitute with some fried eggplant or peas.

You will need:

• 300g (about 6-8) zucchini

• 1 onion, grated

• 250 grams haloumi cheese, grated

• 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour

• 2 tsp grated lemon rind

• 2 eggs

• 1 tbs chopped fresh dill

Method

Coarsely grate the zucchinis, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place in a bowl and add the onion, haloumi cheese, flour, lemon rind, eggs and dill.

Season with salt and black pepper and stir to combine.

Form the zucchini mixture into about 25 bite-size patties. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm.Fry in pan until golden.

We served ours with salad packed with HEAPS of garden greens. It was indeed a luscious meal for the whole family and dare I say, totally cheap. The left overs will make the perfect snack for busy days at work.

So, you’re welcome. Dinner is served.
