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

    3 Meanwhile, combine chilli, cottage cheese, remaining chives and zest in a bowl. Serve fritters topped with a dollop of cottage cheese mix and rocket.
