Ingredients

1.50 cups portobello mushrooms (approximately 2 medium portobello mushrooms), coarsely grated
1 tsp sea salt, plus more to season to taste
3 spring onions, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tbsp lemon zest
pinch of black pepper
½ cup ricotta
1 egg
½ cup plain flour
1 tbsp olive oil, to cook

Method

1

Place grated mushrooms in a bowl and toss with salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, add the spring onions, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, black pepper and ricotta to a mixing bowl. Add salt to taste.

3

Gently squeeze all the excess liquid from the mushrooms and add them to the bowl.

4

Add the egg and flour and stir to combine. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop mixture into 8 evenly sized balls and flatten into patties.

5

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, and add the fritters in batches.

6

Cook until golden brown on both sides – about 4 minutes per side.

7

Serve and enjoy! I added some extra sliced portobello mushrooms fried in olive oil with fresh thyme, a poached egg* and some fresh parsley on top.

*For the poached egg, bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add a dash of vinegar and use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the pot. Gently crack in the egg and cook for 3.5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
