Ingredients
200g red capsicum, finely chopped
1 small avocado, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
6 green shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh coriander leaves, coarsely chopped
400g can lentils, drained, rinsed
350g coarsely grated zucchini
3 teaspoons curry powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup self-raising flour
120g mixed salad leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Method
- Combine capsicum, avocado, 2 tablespoons juice and half both the shallots and coriander in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mash lentils in a large bowl. Squeeze grated zucchini to remove as much excess liquid as possible (see tip).
- Add to lentils with curry powder, egg, flour and remaining shallots and coriander. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Add four ¼-cup amounts of lentil mixture to pan. Cook for 3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat to make 8 more fritters.
- Meanwhile, toss salad leaves, vinegar and oil in a bowl. Serve salad with fritters and capsicum salsa.
