Ingredients

  • 1 medium sized head of broccoli (or riced broccoli - see notes)
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 small bunch of parsley finely chopped
  • 1 cup almond flour (or flour of choice: chickpea, spelt and plain flour work also)
  • ¾ cup of crumbled feta
  • ½ cup walnuts toasted and finely chopped (see notes for toasting information)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges for serving
  • Oil for cooking (avocado, olive oil or coconut)

Instructions

  • Chop the broccoli as finely as you can or rice it (see here for instructions)
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add in the garlic, parsley, flour, crumbled feta and toasted walnuts (see notes). Add salt and pepper to taste and mix to combine. Do not overmix or the mixture will become gummy.
  • Add the broccoli to the egg mixture and stir to just combine. If the mixture is too wet, you will need to add more flour, do this 1tsp at a time.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add cooking oil of choice (I used avocado oil).
  • Once the oil is hot, add a heaped tablespoon of the mixture to the pan, flatten slightly, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden. I can usually fit 4 into a pan at the same time
  • Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper towels, to soak up any excess oil
  • Squeeze a wedge of lemon over the fritters before serving

Notes

To rice your broccoli see instructions here.
To toast walnuts: add chopped walnuts to a frying pan on low heat and gently toast for about 5 minutes, until slightly golden, and smelling nice and toasty. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before chopping.
