Leeks, feta, chili, and dill fritters on a spring table.

Leek, Feta, Chili, Dill Fritters


  • Author: Deborah Eydmann Beau

Description

An easy to make, organic recipe.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 leeks, finely chopped
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp créme fraîche
  • 3 tbsp gram flour
  • 1 fresh red chili chopped finely (or less, depending on the heat of your chilies!)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • A glug of olive oil
  • 1 pack of Feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Start by gently frying the leeks and shallots on a low heat until soft and translucent; stir continuously to avoid sticking or burning. Once cooked, leave to cool.
  2. Beat the eggs with the créme fraîche, slowly fold in the gram flour, then add the leek and shallots, and finally the chili and dill, mixing well. The consistency should be like a batter, so it can slide off the spoon but doesn’t drip like liquid.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat and drop spoonfuls of the batter into small patties and shape with a spatula if needed. Cook on both sides until golden brown and heated through, remove from the pan and dab with kitchen paper to remove any excess oil.  If needed, they can then be transferred to a baking tray and kept warm in the oven set to a low heat.
