Let me introduce you to the wonders of these spicy carrot fritters; full of flavour without being heavy, they make a beautiful, affordable midweek dinner. Carrots are rarely expensive and here, their sweetness combined with punchy flavours create a gorgeous balanced fritter. Those of you who read this blog, know that I am a big fan of fritters as midweek meals. They’re quick, easy and relatively healthy. But it does require a constant refreshing of ingredients to keep things interesting.
Enter my beloved Fix & Fogg. Their range of nut butters is exceptional and add another wonderful element to fritters. Lately I’ve been crushing on their almond butter and adore finding new ways to incorporate its lightly smokey flavour into every meal. In these carrot fritters, the almond butter combines with egg and coconut milk to hold everything together when cooking. However if you’re not a fan of almond butter, feel free to use the nut butter of your choice. I imagine cashew nut butter would also be divine.
These fritters are wickedly simple to create and great for cooking with kids. They’ll love to mix and help. As with all of the fritter recipes, you can substitute the flour for a gluten free alternative such as ground almonds simply. Serve with a dip or two and a big green salad, and you’ve a beautiful option for dinner.
