Instructions

GET PREPPED
1

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out the excess moisture with clean hands or a clean towel. TIP: Removing the excess moisture from the zucchini is important to ensure your fritter batter is the right consistency and not too wet. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely slice the spring onion. Cut the lime into wedges.

Make the batter
2

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Add the zucchini, carrot, grated Cheddar cheese and spring onion to the bowl with the eggs and stir well to combine. Add the plain flour, salt (use suggested amount) and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine.

Toast the pepitas
3

Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pepitas and toast, stirring, for 3-4 mintutes, or until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

COOK THE FRITTERS
4

Coat the base of the same pan with olive oil and return it to a medium-high heat. Once hot, place a heaped tablespoon of the fritter mixture into the pan and gently spread to be 1 cm thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden. TIP: You can cook a few fritters at once. TIP: Don't flip before the time is up to ensure your fritters can set. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture. TIP: If needed, add extra oil to prevent the fritters from sticking to the pan.

PREPARE THE SALAD
5

While the fritters are cooking, finely slice the cucumber into thin discs. In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey and olive oil(1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people). Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cucumber, ** mixed salad leaves** and toasted pepitas to the bowl and toss to coat.

SERVE UP
6

Divide the zucchini & carrot cheesy fritters and the pepita-sala between plates. Top with a spoonful of the dill & parsley mayonnaise and serve with the lime wedges on the side.
