Zucchini and pea fritters
Ready in less than 30 minutes, our kid-friendly fritters are a great way to enjoy more greens. Pop them into back-to-school lunches.
Zucchini and pea fritters. In a small saucepan of boiling water, cook the peas for two minutes or until tender, then drain. Move the peas to a heatproof bowl and use a potato masher to coarsely crush. Add the zucchini, haloumi and egg and gently toss to combine. Add the flour and stir and then add the milk and the dill and stir until it's combined.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with oil spray. Spoon 2-tablespoon portions of mixture around the pan and give them a little room to spread out. Cook for two minutes or until lightly golden and bubbles rise to the top. Turn and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture to make three more fritters.
Serve with fresh tomato, parsley and tzatziki or pop them in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.
