Carrot, Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Avocado, Yoghurt and Dukkah

I love the earthy flavour of vegetables paired with aromatic dukkah, it really elevates this humble brekky!

Makes: 5-6 fritters

INGREDIENTS

1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 zucchini, grated
1 cob of corn, boiled for 5 minutes and kernels sliced off (or ¾ cup kernels)
3 tablespoons water
1 large egg
½ cup plain flour
1 teaspoon each baking powder and ground cumin
1 tablespoon chopped coriander, plus a few extra leaves to serve
sea salt and ground pepper
2–3 tablespoons rice bran or avocado oil

TO SERVE
¾ cup Greek natural yoghurt
flesh of 1 avocado, mashed
¼ cup dukkah

METHOD

Put the carrot, zucchini and corn in a bowl. Whisk the water and egg together with a fork, pour over the veges and stir through.

Sift in the flour, baking powder and cumin, add the coriander, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine until the batter is smoothish and the vegetables are all coated. Leave to sit for 20 minutes.

Heat a little of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Drop in ⅓ cupsful of the fritter batter and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden. They are mostly veges and there’s not a lot of flour binding them so treat them gently.

TO SERVE: Serve the fritters topped with a little yoghurt, avocado, coriander leaves and dukkah.
