Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 35 min

Ingredients

  Zucchini Lentil Fritters  
1 cup cooked split red lentils 250 mL
1/2 cup finely diced red onions 125 mL
2  large eggs  
1 Tbsp lemon zest 15 mL
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil 15 mL
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley 15 mL
1/2 tsp ground cumin 2 mL
1/2 tsp ground coriander 2 mL
1/4 tsp red chili flakes 1 mL
1/2 cup all-purpose flour 125 mL
1 tsp baking powder 5 mL
1/4 tsp coarse salt 1 mL
2 cups grated zucchini 500 mL
1 cup canola oil, for frying 250 mL
  Dill Sour Cream  
1 cup sour cream 250 mL
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh dill 15 mL
2 tsp lemon juice 10 mL
1/2 tsp salt 2 mL
1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1 mL

Instructions

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine lentils, onions, eggs, herbs, and spices. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir flour mixture into the lentil mixture just to moisten. Add grated zucchini and stir gently until just incorporated.

Step 2
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, warm about ½ inch (1 cm) of canola oil. Drop batter using a large ice cream scoop into hot oil, spreading out a little to make them round. You can fry 3 fritters at once. Fry on each side for about 3 minutes, until golden. Remove to a paper towel lined platter and continue cooking fritters until all batter is gone.

Step 3
Serve warm, sprinkled with coarse sea salt and topped with dill sour cream.
