Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 carrot
  • 2 rashers nitrate-free bacon
  • 1/2 c plain flour (gluten-free works well)
  • 2 egg
  • 1 tsp. mixed herbs
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil, coconut oil or ghee

Instructions

  1. Grate zucchini and place in a small strainer, or nut milk bag. Sprinkle with salt and mix through. Let this sit for 10 minutes as the salt will draw out the moisture.
  2. Meanwhile grate the carrot, dice the bacon and mix everything together in a bowl.
  3. Press out all the moisture from the zucchini and mix this through with everything else.
  4. If your mixture is still very wet add a little more flour - you want a thick batter like consistency.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Cook fritters on one side and flip to cook the other side.
  6. Serve with a side salad for dinner, or with some poached eggs for breakfast.
