Made these the other day and I think they are fantastic. Based on a recipe of William Granger. These are best served with you own fresh made Italian tomato sauce along with some basil leaves and rocket salad Ingredients:
500 g mozzarella cheese |
200 g grated parmesan cheese |
2 cloves crushed garlic |
1/2 cup of shredded basil |
2 lightly beaten eggs |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 lemon, zest of |
freshly grated salt and black pepper |
olive oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Place all the ingredients except the oil into a bowl and mix well to combine.
2. Shape the mixture into 12 small patties and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick fry pan on medium high heat and fry the fritters for a few minutes on each side until they are nice golden colour.
4. Drain on paper towel and keep warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining fritters.
