Orange & Green!

Much like my family of origin - The Orange and The Green - but somewhat more harmonious, tonight's meal was a simple vegetable dish Zucchini & Sweet Potato (Kumara) Fritters served with a crisp green salad.  Oh,Yum!!

2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup grated sweet potato
2 tbsp chopped chives
2 tabsp sesame seeds
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain flour
Salt & pepper

1. Grate the vegetables and drain, saving the juices
2. Combine the zucchini, sweet potato, sesame seeds and chives in a mixing bowl
3. Gently whisk the egg and fold in the flour, seasoned with salt and pepper.  Add the vegetable juices if needed to give batter a good consistency
4. Add batter to vegetables and fold through gently
5. Drop large spoonfuls of mix into a lightly greased, non stick pan.  Flatten the fritter slightly
6. Cook until golden brown and batter is bubbling on top
7. Gently flip and cook until golden
8. Serve immediately (to enjoy the crunchy coat) with a fresh green salad and your favourite condiment.  That's fruit chutney for me!
