COCKTAILS A GO-GO

Prawn, Zucchini and Lemongrass Fritters (gf)

A good fritter is always a popular finger food option at parties. We topped ours with a dab of crème fraîche, crispy shallots and coriander. Other options are sour cream and chilli jam; mayo mixed with a little wasabi paste and coriander; thick coconut yoghurt, toasted shredded coconut and sliced fresh chilli.

½ cup ground almonds (almond meal)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 large egg, size 7
¼ cup thick coconut cream
1 medium zucchini
½ cup corn kernels, thawed if frozen, finely chopped 200 grams raw peeled prawns, finely chopped
1 long red chilli, seeded, finely chopped
1 large stalk lemongrass, grated on a fine microplane grater
good handful coriander, finely chopped
sea salt and ground pepper
rice bran oil for cooking

Combine the almonds, chia seeds, garlic, ginger, egg and coconut cream in a large bowl and season well. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken.
