Kurdish Carrot Fritters (adapted from Food Bridge)
5 medium sized carrots (about 2 cups), finely grated
1 yellow onion, grated
2 eggs
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 salt or to taste
1/8 tsp Ras el hanout
Canola oil for frying
Labneh for serving
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
- Create round flat fritters from the mixture, about 1 tbsp per fritter.
- Heat oil in a pan, enough so that it comes half way up the fritters.
- Fry fritters until golden brown, on both sides.
- Remove on to paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve with labneh or yogurt.
Mmm...I would love these. Looks very delicious. I love carrots too. I always cook it in soup or fried with other vegetables. But most often I make fresh carrot juice with them.
ReplyDeleteYum Carrot juice. You can also use other spices instead of ras el hanout. I think I read that coriander and thyme are good options too. I think cinnamon and brown sugar would be delicious with plain bread crumbs.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for trying the fritters, think that adding some spices and herbs, like you mentioned, would make them even more interesting.
