Carrot, Kale, Coriander and Feta Fritters

Recently I’ve had a lot of retired clients wanting to improve their health

One of the main things they all need to do is eat more veggies

everyone needs to eat more veggies – only 6% of Aussies eat what’s recommended! Photo from Unsplash

So I was talking to one lady yesterday about how she was going to do that

She’s already successfully searched and used a lot of recipes on my website for dinners

But wanted something quick to make for lunch in place of her usual sandwich

Which ‘wasn’t a salad and didn’t have beans in it’ was her request

This is what I came up with…

fritters chock full of veggies! Oh and there’s kind of chickpeas in there – in the form of besan flour!

Super fast, super tasty fritters

Who doesn’t like a fritter – right?

that’s my secret sauce in the background

They are seriously the easiest way to get anyone to eat more veggies (especially kale)

Cause fritters always taste sooo damn good!

And while the original idea was to have them for lunch

You could also serve them for breakfast, a light dinner or even as a snack

piles of veggie-filled fritters

So whatever you do, don’t forget to EAT YOUR VEGGIES

Ummm, I mean, try these fritters…..

what a great way to eat your veggies!

4. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until cooked through and golden brown.
5. When cooked, place on paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

For a Vegan Version
1. Replace egg with a linseed or chia egg – 1 tablespoon ground linseeds or chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water
2. Replace feta with a vegan feta – like this one I found in Woolworths of all places! And it actually tastes quite good!

vegan feta – who woulda thoughts!
