Broccoli & Feta Fritters
I hate to throw food away but this week I found myself with some broccoli that needed to be used fast otherwise it was heading for the recycling bin. I’d seen a recipe for cauliflower fritters so I thought I’d have a go at making a green version. And they’re really good. They make a nice light lunch and can easily be reheated the next day for a healthy breakfast.
