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.
