Recipe Ingredients
- 3 leeks
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- handful of fresh parsley, minced
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons plain flour
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes (optional)
- vegetable oil for frying
Methods
1. Prepare the vegetables
First, clean the leeks and cut them into thin slices. Place the sliced leeks in a steamer and steam them until tender, approximately 5-8 minutes. Allow the precooked leeks to cool before adding them to the remaining ingredients.
Meanwhile, grate the carrots and chop the onion, red pepper, and fresh parsley.
2. Make the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced leeks, grated carrots, chopped onion, red pepper, and chopped parsley. Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix well. Add flour and breadcrumbs, ensuring even distribution. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and red chilli flakes, if desired. The batter should have a thick, sticky consistency. If it’s too runny, you can add more breadcrumbs.
3. Frying
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. A general guideline is to add approximately 0.6 to 1.5 cm (about ¼ to ½ “) of oil to the pan. Form small fritters out of the mixture with a spoon, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry the leek fritters until golden brown and crispy on each side. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Serve
After frying, place the fritters on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve the leek fritters warm, perhaps with a side of yogurt or your favourite dipping sauce.
Enjoy!
