    1 To make sauce, spray a frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until onion has softened. Add capsicums and cook for 3-4 more minutes then add tomatoes and balsamic. Stir to combine. Simmer over a low heat for about 10 minutes while you make the fritters.

    2 To make fritters, whisk together milk and eggs in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in flour until smooth and well combined. Stir through peas, courgettes, haloumi, herbs and lemon zest.

    3 Spray a large frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Spoon 1/4 cupfuls of mixture into pan, making 3 fritters at a time. Cook for 3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Spray pan with a little more oil. Continue with batter to make 12 fritters in total.

    4 Blend capsicum sauce in a food processor until smooth or until you get a thick sauce consistency.
