I really like the sound of this one! Fritters make a nice side dish to any meal. This one comes from Yummy.com and the photo too.
Ingredients
- 8 oz
- broccoli (3 cups chopped)
- 1 large
- egg
- ½ c
- all purpose flour
- 1.3 c
- grated parmesan cheese
- 1 clove
- garlic, minced
- ½ tsp
- salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 pinch

How to Make BROCCOLI PARMESAN FRITTERS
- 1Steam the broccoli in a small amount of boiling water for 5 or 6 minutes. Drain well; set aside.
- 2In a large bowl, beat the egg and add flour, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the somewhat cooled broccoli and mash the mixture with a potato masher until you have 1/4- to 1/2-inch chunks.
- 3Form the mixture into mounds and place in hot oil in a large skillet. Slightly mash the mounds by pressing on them with a spatula. Brown over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- 4Transfer briefly to paper towels to drain, and then to a serving plate.
