    broccoli cauliflower and halloumi fritters

    I'm not the only person in Casa de Cooker with superpowers.

    The Big Sister has several superpowers. She can simultaneous tell you a joke that will have you falling down with laughter at the same time as leaving her school shoes in exactly the place that will have you falling down as you walk through the back door moments later.

    Bearhands can sense that I'm in a foul mood and with the deft touch of a bomb disposal specialist knows just when to diffuse the situation. His other superpower is knowing exactly when the ads are over and flicking the channel back without missing a minute of the show.

    The Little Sister's tummy has a couple of superpowers too. It alerts her the moment that you sit down to work and demands to be fed. Her tummy also knows the moment I'm cooking with my hands - rolling dough, stuffing chicken - then it produces something she needs my help wiping. It's truly a gift!

    When I offered him one of these broccoli, cauliflower and helium fritters, Bearhands begged me not to blog them but to offer the recipe to the highest bidder. Imagine all the goodness of broccoli, cauliflower and cheese in a fritter case. Yep. It's true. Broccoli is my superpower!broccoli cauliflower and halloumi fritters

    broccoli cauliflower and halloumi fritters

    Ingredients:

    ½ cup plain flour
    ½ cup self raising flour
    1 egg
    1 cup milk
    300g broccoli
    300g cauliflower
    250g halloumi
    salt and pepper to season

    Method:

    In a large bowl combine the flours, egg and milk and beat until smooth. Allow to rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

    Steam the broccoli and cauliflower using your preferred method, then drain them of any excess liquid. I wash mine, break it into small florets and microwave. In a large bowl combine the flours, egg and milk and beat until smooth. Dice the halloumi into little cubes and stir into the batter. Add the cauliflower and broccoli and stir until evenly distributed.  Season with salt and pepper.

    Spoon into hot, shallow oil and fry until a rich brown on both sides.
    Drain on absorbent paper and serve with a wedge of lemon.broccoli cauliflower & halloumi fritters broccoli cauliflower and halloumi fritters

     

    There's plenty of other superpowers I prefer to being the broccoli whisperer, but at my age I'll take what I can get.

    what superpower do you wish you possessed?

      I tend to agree with him - this recipe does look DIVINE! My kids have superpowers, mainly to be super noisy every second of every day!

      In my mind, you had me at halloumi but the clever introduction to these fritters means they MUST be made in my house soon. I have also queued this to share with my fans on FB. Saw this on FFF. Have a great weekend! 🙂

      Oh these look right up my alley and I'm definitely going to be making them. I tell my kids I have the superpower of eyes in the back of my head and that I know everything they are up to - don't think they believe me though and I probably don't really want to know all they get up to either!

      I think my kids have the same superpowers - every single time I've got my hands covered with something I can guarantee they need me to wipe/help with something. I don't blame him for not wanting you to share these, they look great! Thanks for linking up with us this week, I hope you are having a lovely weekend x

      Love this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing. I've been looking for simple and tasty recipes using veggies, that don't require baking. And anything with haloumi in has to be a winner.

      Love these, although I halved the amount of brocoli and cauli. So delish.

        The upside of being an adult is deciding exactly how many trees you have to eat! 🙂

      They look delicious. I wonder how they would go in the airfryer.
