# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
3 cups chopped broccoli (both florets and stem)
02 -
2 tablespoons oil (veggie, olive, or canola)
→ Batter
03 -
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
04 -
1/2 cup regular flour
05 -
1/4 cup shredded parmesan

2 tablespoons milk

11 -
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
12 -
Salt and pepper to your liking
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop your broccoli in a steamer or boiling water for about 3 minutes until soft but still has some bite. Then gently flatten it with a potato masher, not totally smooshing it but just breaking it down a bit.
02 -
Stir the yoghurt with lemon juice, add salt and pepper how you like it. Put it aside for later.
03 -
Whisk the egg gently, then throw in the flour, parmesan, garlic, milk, salt and pepper. Mix it up. Add your flattened broccoli and fold everything together.
04 -
Warm the oil in a pan on medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of the mix, drop it in and press down to make it about 1cm thick. Cook 3 fritters at once, about 2-3 minutes each side till they're golden.
05 -
Enjoy these fritters while they're hot, with a dollop of the yoghurt sauce and some lemon wedges if you want.
