Method
Step 1
Combine the spring onion, oregano, lemon rind, chilli flakes, if using, half the tomato and 1 tbs lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the eggs and 1/3 cup (95g) yoghurt and stir to combine. Stir in the flour, fetta and bicarbonate of soda.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place remaining tomato in a bowl with the oil and 1 1/2 tbs lemon juice. Season and toss to combine. Set aside to develop the flavours.
Step 3
Add enough extra oil to cover the base of a large frying pan. Heat over medium-high heat. Add three 1/4 cup (60ml) portions of the batter to the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins or until base is golden brown. Turn and cook for 1-2 mins or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining batter.
Step 4
Combine the garlic, remaining yoghurt and remaining lemon juice in a small bowl. Season.
Step 5
Spoon the yoghurt mixture onto serving plates. Top with fritters. Divide the lettuce among serving plates and spoon over tomato mixture to serve.

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Clever storage: If you have any leftover fritters, wrap them in foil and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave, or in a frying pan over the stove
Use it up: There's so much you can do with leftover spring onions. Coarsely chop and add to stir-fries, or thinly slice and sprinkle over salads or scrambled eggs.
