Warmer days and salads are calling. Although I didn’t want just a plate of salad…a little something of the side perhaps? I asked if anyone would like to help me cook. When six hands shoot to the sky, (yes, they are so enthusiastic to get in there they shoot both hands up) and there is a stampede of shoving and nudging to get to the “standing chair” in the kitchen chair. Well I know they are enthusiastic.

School holiday cooking that’s simple, and speaks quietly of warm weather and lazy days.

For the baked and not fried versions see here.

Corn and Ricotta Fritters

2 beaten eggs

300g ricotta

a couple of shallots finely sliced

Cook up small amounts in a frying pan, (I cook these in a ceramic frying pan without the use of oil.)
