With a bumper crop of carrots on the way this spring, we’ll be cooking these babies up by the bowlful!
For the fritters:
6 large carrots peeled and grated
1 shallot, diced
3 chives finely chopped
2 tsp of ground cumin
2 tsp of ground coriander
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic power
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro etc)
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup of flour
coconut oil for frying (2-3 tablespoons at a time)
For the dipping sauce:
dollop greek yogurt
sriracha
blue cheese, crumbled
pepper
shallot, diced
- Mix carrots, shallot, chives, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic power, salt, pepper, herbs and minced garlic.
- Stir in eggs and flour ’til just combined.
- Heat oil in large frying pan.
- Drop dollops of mixture into pan, using the back of a spatula to flatten and form them into rough discs approximately 0.5″ thick. It’s a good idea to start with one fritter to make sure that the consistency is right. If the fritter falls apart in the pan, add more flour.
- Fry until golden on one side, then flip.
- If not serving immediately, place fritters on a metal rack in the oven at 300 F.
- Serve with dipping sauce.
