Combining the hearty flavors of broccoli and blue cheese with the crunch of walnuts and fresh spinach, this recipe is perfect for a light lunch or a satisfying dinner. Let's get cooking!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Chop the broccoli into small florets.
2. Steam or blanch the broccoli until tender, then finely chop or mash it. Set aside to cool.
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, egg whites, and mustard.
2. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped red onion, and a dash of salt. Mix until evenly combined.
3. Fold in the chopped broccoli.
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and place it into the hot oil, flattening slightly with a spatula.
3. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
4. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
1. In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, chopped walnuts, olive oil, vinegar, and sugar.
2. Mix well until the dressing is evenly combined.
1. Arrange the fritters on a serving platter.
2. Drizzle the walnut dressing over the fritters, or serve it on the side.
1. Optionally, garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or additional chopped walnuts.
2. Serve immediately while the fritters are still warm and crisp.
Tips:
- Steam the broccoli until it is tender but not mushy. This will keep the fritters from becoming too watery.
- Ensure that your batter is well-mixed and smooth to achieve an even texture in the fritters.
- Use a non-stick pan and cook the fritters on medium heat to avoid burning them, giving you a nice golden-brown crust.
- For extra flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet before adding them to the dressing.
- Serve the fritters immediately to ensure they are crispy and fresh, as they can become soggy if left to sit too long.
Enjoy your scrumptious broccoli and blue cheese fritters with walnut dressing. These flavorful fritters are sure to become a favorite, pairing perfectly with the nutty and tangy dressing. Bon appétit!
