Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 stalks Spring onions
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Avocado
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
Instructions
Trim and finely slice the spring onions, then place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the ricotta cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the spring onions. Mix well until a thick batter forms.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spoon 2 heaped tablespoons of the batter onto the pan for each fritter, spreading slightly to form a round shape.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil as necessary. Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
For the avocado salsa, peel and cube the avocados and place them in a bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the salsa along with the lime juice and salt. Gently toss to combine.
Serve the warm fritters alongside the avocado salsa. Enjoy your Spring Onion and Ricotta Fritters with Avocado Salsa!
