Cooking Steps
• Slice cucumber into half-moons. Slice avocado in half, scoop out flesh and roughly chop. • Zest lemon to get a pinch and slice into wedges. Finely chop parsley. • Grate halloumi and courgette. Squeeze any excess moisture out of the courgette using a paper towel.
TIP: Squeezing out the excess moisture from the courgette ensures your fritter batter is the right consistency.
• In a medium bowl, combine halloumi, courgette, lemon zest, parsley, the milk, plain flour, Aussie spice blend, the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper.
TIP: Lift out some of the mixture with a spoon. If it's too wet and doesn't hold its shape, add a little more flour!
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture in batches and flatten with a spatula (5-6 per person). • Cook until golden, 3-4 minutes each side (don't flip too early!). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Add extra olive oil between batches as needed.
• In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber, avocado, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide salad between bowls. • Top with courgette-haloumi fritters. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
