Radish Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 bunch radishes
• ¼ cup flour of choice (I have used many different kinds of
• wheat-free flours with success.)
• 1 egg
• 1 handful basil leaves, chopped
• Juice of one lemon
• Peel of one lemon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Sugar, to taste
• Goat cheese, to garnish

Directions

Shred the radish bulbs into a large bowl. Add egg, basil, lemon peel, salt, flour, juice from 1/2 lemon. Add a little more flour if the mixture is still very wet – you want the vegetables to stick together. Heat a pan to medium with oil. Scoop out the mixture in a ¼ cup measure and press down with a spoon. Drop mixture onto the pan, flatten with a spatula and fry until golden on each side. Mix remaining lemon juice with a little sugar until you have a sweet concoction to drizzle onto the fritters at the table. Garnish with cheese and serve.
