BABY-MARROW FRITTERS

Ingredients

• 2 cups Baby marrows, coarsely grated

• 4 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 1/2 cups self raising flour

• 6 large eggs, beaten

• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

• 1 Tbsp sea salt, plus extra to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Place the grated baby marrow in a colander, sprinkle ½ t salt over them and leave for 30 minutes to drain. Gently squeeze out any excess liquid before placing the marrow in a mixing bowl.

2. Add the onion and parsley, and a little more salt, if necessary. Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Stir the eggs into the marrow mixture, then sieve the self-raising flour over the mixture and stir in to form a soft batter – it should drop easily off a spoon.

3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and use a large spoon to drop four roughly-shaped fritters into the pan. Fry until golden, then fl ip and repeat. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper.

4. If necessary, add more oil to the pan, and repeat with the next batch of fritters. Continue in this way until all the batter is finished. Serve immediately.
