Sweetcorn, Courgette and Tofu Fritters

Gluten Free and Vegetarian

Fritters are so quick and easy. These ones are a good combination of veges and protein. The tofu makes them moist. You can serve them with the cottage cheese mix, hummus, pesto, quince jelly - you name it! And of course a salad!

4 eggs

½ cup gluten free self-raising flour

250g firm tofu, mashed

1 ½ cups corn kernels

2 large courgettes, coarsely grated, squeezed to remove excess moisture

1/3 cup chopped fresh chives

3 teaspoons lemon zest

Cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 long red chilli, seeded, finely chopped

Whisk eggs in a large bowl until well combined. Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the mashed tofu, corn, courgette, 2 tablespoons of the chives and 2 teaspoons of the zest. Stir until well combined: season with cracked black pepper.

Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add 3 x 1/3 cups of mixture to the pan and cook fritters for 2-3 minutes each side, or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter to make 12 fritters in total, adding the remaining oil as necessary.

Combine the chilli, cottage cheese, the remaining chives and zest in a bowl. Serve fritters topped with a dollop of cottage cheese mix or try hummus, pesto or maybe even quince jelly!
