Budget-friendly dinner winner loaded with veggies: Fritter and savory slice combo, featuring 4 veggie serves per portion.
Ingredients:
  • 9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 175g shortcut bacon rashers, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 500g cauliflower florets
  • 450g broccoli florets
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 125.00 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 82.50 ml chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 82.50 ml frozen peas
  • 250.00 ml cooked quinoa
  • 1 long red chilli, chopped
  • 0.60 gm sea salt
  • Salad leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Grease an 18cm x 28cm slice pan and line the base and sides with baking paper, allowing 3cm of paper to hang over the edges.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, sizzle the bacon until golden, around 4 to 5 minutes. Toss in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, then mix in the lemon rind. Let cool before using.
  • While waiting, steam the cauliflower and broccoli in a metal steamer over simmering water until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Save half of the cauliflower and broccoli florets. Use a food processor to pulse the remaining florets until roughly chopped, being careful not to over-process. Combine with the reserved florets in a bowl.
  • Combine egg, milk, flour, bacon mixture, parsley, mint, peas, quinoa, chili, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and firm to the touch. Let it stand for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Transfer the fritter onto a cutting board and slice it into 8 pieces. Enjoy alongside fresh salad leaves.
