NZ Garlic & Herb Banana Blossom Fritters

Meanwhile, grate carrot (see ingredients). Grate courgette. Thinly slice radish. Drain and rinse banana blossom. Squeeze out any excess liquid with paper towel, then cut banana blossom into bite-sized chunks.

In a large bowl, combine courgette, carrot, banana blossom, garlic & herb seasoning, plant-based grated parmesan, plain flour, plant-based milk and a pinch of pepper. Mix well to combine.
TIP: Lift out some of the mixture with a spoon. If it's too wet and doesn't hold its shape, add a little more flour!

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture in batches and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden, 3-5 minutes each side (don't flip too early!). Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. You should get 3-4 fritters per person. TIP: Add extra olive oil between batches as needed.

While the fritters are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine radish, mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
