    1 Cook the broccoli in a pan of boiling water until just tender. Drain, refresh under cold running water and squeeze out any water, then chop coarsely.

    2 Put the flour in a large bowl, add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the quinoa, broccoli, tuna, feta, 2 tablespoons chives, 2 tablespoons mint and half the zest. Season with black pepper and stir to combine.

    3 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Add 4 dollops (each about 3 rounded tbsp) of mixture to the pan, and cook for 3–4 min on each side or until golden and cooked through. Repeat to make 16 fritters.

    4 Meanwhile, combine the cucumber, salad leaves and radishes in a salad bowl. Mix the yogurt with the extra chives, mint and remaining zest. Serve the fritters with the salad, yogurt dressing and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

      Bland on its own. Must have the Greek yogurt to compliment.
