Turnip or Radish Fritters

Ingredients

• 3 large turnips or radishes
• ¼ cup flour of choice (I have used many different kinds of wheat free flours with success.)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon dried dill or more if fresh
• Juice of one lemon
• Peel of one lemon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Sugar, to taste (optional)
• Chèvre or greek yogurt, to garnish

Directions

Shred roots into a large bowl. Add egg, dill, 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.
