Ingredients
8 ounces or about 3 cups chopped broccoli
1 large egg
½ cup whole grain spelt flour (or gluten free alternative such as buckwheat flour)
⅓ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 small clove garlic minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
Pinch red pepper flakes
Olive oil for frying


Topping
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 little clove minced garlic
1

Cut the florets into 1 inch chunks. If you want to include the stems peel them and then slice into ½ inch lengths. You should end up with about 3 cups of chopped broccoli in all.

2

Steam until tender but not mushy. Set aside to cool slightly.

3

In the bottom of a large bowl lightly beat your egg. Add the flour, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper flakes.

4

Add the broccoli and use a potato masher to mash the broccoli just a bit. Then stir or fold the ingredients together again.

5

Heat a skillet over moderate heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of the oil.

6

Scoop up a two tablespoon size mound of the batter and drop it into the pan, then flatten it slightly with your spoon or spatula. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

7

Once the fritters are browned on the bottom flip them over and brown again on the other side. This will take one or two minutes.

8

Transfer to a paper towel to drain, then to a serving plate.

9

To make the topping simply mix the yogurt, lemon juice and garlic. Serve dolloped on the fritters.
