Notes
1. Broccoli - if you boil it, leave in colander for a while so excess water in florets steams out.2. Cooking tips - standard ice cream scooper with lever is handy here, it's 1/4 cup. Don't aim for perfectly round, squiggly = more ridges = more crispy bits! Get 2 pans going if you can.3. Nutrition per fritter, excluding pink sauce. 4 - 5 fritters is sufficient for a meal with sides. Try this Lemon Potato Salad, No Knead Rolls or a quick Irish Soda Bread.
