Seasonal Summer Recipe: Zucchini and Bacon Fritters

This Recipe Serves 1 | GF, DF, RSF

Ingredients

• 3 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 spring onion, finely sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 handful parsley and basil, finely chopped
• 1 clove of garlic crushed
• 1 tsp salt
• Cracked black pepper to season
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped (optional)
• 30 grams feta (optional, but makes it so tasty)
• ¼ cup ground almonds
• 1 egg, beaten well
• 2 tbsp butter or coconut oil, for frying

Method

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Heat a cast iron or heavy based fry pan on a medium heat and melt the butter or coconut oil.
2. To make the fritters add a heaped tablespoon of batter to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Make sure the pan is nice and hot before you add the fritters to prevent sticking.
