Ricotta Fritters
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh ricotta (use firm ricotta from the deli section of your supermarket, the prepacked variety is too moist and will require at least double the amount of flour)
- 1 egg
- 1 heaped tablespoon plain flour
- 40 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- zest of a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- olive oil, to fry in
Preparation
Place the ricotta, egg, flour, cheese, lemon zest and nutmeg into a large bowl and mix thoroughly to combine
Heat a non stick frypan to low-medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and use a tablespoon to spoon the ricotta mixture into the frypan
Cook for 2-3 minutes before carefully turning and cooking for another 2-3 minutes
Place the cooked fritters onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil
Serve immediately and
Enjoy ?
