HERB FRITTERS

Steps:

• Beat egg white to stiff but not dry peaks and fold into batter. Fold in finely chopped herbs and greens.
• Pour oil into a wok or wide saucepan to a depth of 3 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 360 to 375 degrees. Set up a sheet pan with a rack on it next to pan. Cover rack with a few layers of paper towels. Have a spider or deep fry skimmer handy for removing fritters from oil.
• . Scoop up the batter by the tablespoon and carefully drop into the hot oil. You should be able to fry about 5 at a time. After a few seconds flip the fritters over, then fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, flipping over again halfway through. Remove from oil with a spider or deep-fry skimmer and drain on the towel-covered rack. Allow to cool slightly, and serve.

IRANIAN HERB FRITTERS FROM SIMPLE

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients, apart from the oil, in a large bowl with 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix well to combine and set aside.
• Put 2 tbsp of the oil into a large nonstick pan and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add ladles of batter to the pan. Do 4 fritters at a time, if you can-you want each of them to be about 5 inches/12cm wide-otherwise just do 2 or 3 at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside while you continue with the remaining batter and oil.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

HERB & SPICE PANEER FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toast the cumin seeds in a large, non-stick frying pan for about 1 min, shaking the pan until a shade darker, taking care not to burn. Remove from the heat and place the seeds in a mixing bowl.
• Add everything else, except the oil, lemon and chilli sauce, to the bowl. Season well and mix very thoroughly. Using wet hands, take walnut-size handfuls of the mixture, then press into flat little cakes, like fish cakes or patties. They can now be chilled until ready to cook, or cooked straight away.
• Reheat the pan over a medium flame and add enough oil to cover the base of the pan. When hot, add the fritters, cook until golden underneath, then turn over and cook until golden all over. Be careful as they may splutter slightly. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm as you cook batches. Serve with lemon wedges and sweet chilli sauce.

HERB FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk together yolks, oil, and beer in a bowl. Slowly add flour, stirring until just combined. Set aside 20 minutes. Wash and dry herbs. Whisk egg whites to soft peaks; fold into beer batter. Add salt and pepper.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil, 1 inch deep, over medium heat until hot but not smoking, 375 degrees. Dip each herb into batter, shaking off excess, until lightly coated. Place herbs in oil, turning until golden, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels; season with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

BEET FRITTERS WITH GARLIC HERB CASHEW CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them under cold water. Place them with 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, oil, garlic, dill, and parsley into a high-speed blender. Whirl away on the highest setting until completely smooth and creamy; this could take about two minutes. Stop and crape down the sides as needed. If the sauce seems too thick add a touch more water to thin if need be. Taste for seasonings and set aside. In a large bowl combine the grated beets, parsley, dill, onion, salt, and chickpea flour. Add the eggs and water and mix well. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop the mixture into roughly 1/4 cup portions and lightly flatten them with a spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve with cashew herb cream sauce, toasted sesame seeds, pinch of flakey sea salt, and additional minced herbs.

4-HERB CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Prepare the topping first by combining all the ingredients in a small, non-reactive bowl and mixing well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve the corn fritters. The topping is best prepared at least 1 hour in advance.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, adding the milk and eggs.
• Using a wire whisk, stir together the milk, eggs and flour, incorporating well to break up any lumps. Keep beating with the whisk to make a smooth, thick batter.
• Next, add the corn, scallions, red chile and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Heat a griddle in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat. Brush the skillet with a little bit of oil. Drop a heaping tablespoonful (grease the utensil first to make it easier to pour) of the batter into the pan; cooking only four fritters at a time to avoid crowding.
• Cook on both sides until golden and firm, about 2 minutes each side. Be careful not to burn, reducing heat if necessary.
• Remove fritters from pan and drain on paper towels. Place on a platter and keep warm in a low oven. Repeat process until all fritters are cooked, adding oil as necessary.
• Divide and arrange the watercress* on 4 individual salad plates. Place the cooked fritters on top. Serve hot with the yogurt sauce on the side.
• If you wish, the watercress can be {{lightly}} wilted by sauteeing for about 15 seconds in a little bit of oil.
