Beet & carrot fritters with walnut and yoghurt sauce
Background
These lovely little beet & carrot fritters are garnished with walnut and yogurt sauce. They are perfect nibbles at parties all year around - they not only look good but are very tasty too! They can be made in advance and any leftovers (unlikely!) are ideal for picnics and snacking.
Ingredients
- 3 carrots (about 200g)
- 2 beets/beetroot (about 150g)
- 1 garlic, pressed
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 Tbsp flour (see Tips below)
- 2 Tbsp chopped dill
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Olive oil for cooking
- For the Sauce:
- 50g walnut
- 2 Tbsp chopped red onion
- 4 Tbsp Greek yoghurt
- Garnish: walnut pieces, chopped dill
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and beetroots, then shred or grate roughly.
- Squeeze the water out of the grated vegetables and wrap them in paper kitchen towel.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly then add the grated vegetables, garlic, flour and dill.
- Grind the cumin in a mortar, add to the mixture. Season with salt & pepper and combine well.
- Make the sauce: dry-fry the walnuts then chop them up roughly and mix with the yogurt and onion. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan then, using a teaspoon, add dollops of your carrot & beet mixture to the pan. Pat down the top of each fritter with the bottom of the spoon. After a minute or so flip the fritters and cook until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer them onto kitchen paper to soak up the oil. Make the next batch.
- Arrange the fritters on a large serving dish, spoon a small blob of sauce on each then top with a piece of walnut and sprinkle with dill. Serve at room temperature.
Tips
If you want them to be gluten-free, use oatmeal, chickpea/brown rice/buckwheat flour. I prefer using chickpea (Gram) flour.Categories
