    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Squeeze handfuls of grated veges over a colander to remove excess moisture. Place in a large bowl. Add peas, half the capsicum, spring onions, mint, lemon zest, egg and flour. Mix well.

    2 Spray a large pan with oil and set over a medium-high heat. Cook spoonfuls of fritter mixture for about 5-6 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Keep warm in oven until all fritters are cooked.

    3 In a bowl combine tomatoes, remaining capsicum, coriander and vinegar. Add chilli flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper.

    4 Divide fritters between 2 serving plates and serve with fresh salsa and yoghurt drizzled over.

    Variations

    Make it vegan: Use Orgran Vegan Easy Egg instead of egg. Check red wine vinegar is vegan and use vegan yoghurt.

    Make it low FODMAP: Swap peas for green beans and use gluten-free all-purpose flour. Use green tips only of spring onions.
