Method

Vegetables

Cut zucchini, carrot and kumara into thick julienne. Bring a saucepan of well-salted water to the boil. Blanch cauliflower, carrot and kumara for 2 minutes then the zucchini for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. Drain well and tip onto a clean tea towel to remove excess water. Set aside.

 

Batter

Put the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Tip into a large bowl and fold in all the vegetables, turning until everything is well coated in the batter.

 

To cook

Heat a little olive oil and butter in a saute pan and cook large spoonfuls of fritter mixture over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan, drain on kitchen towels and keep warm in a low oven.

 

Sauce

Place the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season well.

 

To serve

Place 2 fritters on each plate and serve with half a sliced avocado, rocket, tahini sauce and chilli jam, if using.
