Deplete all of your CSA veggies with easy-to-make fritters. These zucchini kohlrabi carrot fritters with herb yogurt sauce make for a fast and scrumptious weeknight dinner.
Veggie fritters are my new saving grace. Since we began getting our weekly CSA bins this summer time, I’ve needed to step up my meal planning sport. By planning out our dinners for the week upfront, I ensure that no CSA veg will get left behind. In any other case, it’s meals waste metropolis up in right here and we will’t have that.
The final two weekends in a row, we’ve had household and pals visiting and staying with us, which meant consuming out received over cooking at house. That left me with a TON of veggies to make use of in only a few days till our subsequent CSA decide up. The answer?
FRITTERS!
Fritters to the rescue, my pals. You possibly can grate up virtually any veggie mixture, combine it with some spices, egg, and flour and fry these infants up like there’s no tomorrow. Simple peasy.
This week I had an abundance of zucchini, kohlrabi, carrots, and spring onion in order that they ALL went into the fritter batter.
I virtually forgot a very powerful cause that I like fritters – it transforms the veggies. Full disclosure, I’m not the most important zucchini fan. I do know, veggie blasphemy. However I’ve found that if I grate zucchini and throw it into fritters or tacos or sauce, I completely dig it. Downside solved. If there’s a veggie that you just’re not over the moon for, attempt grating it right into a fritter and see what you suppose!
By no means heard of kohlrabi? It seems and tastes like a turnip but it surely’s somewhat sweeter and milder in taste. Kohlrabi hails from the brassica household, which is thought for its chronic-disease preventing antioxidants. It’s a wonderful supply of vitamin Okay and vitamin C (comprises extra vitamin C than orange juice!) and a superb supply of fiber. There’s tons you are able to do within the kitchen with kohlrabi:
- thinly slice and eat uncooked with a yogurt dip
- shred right into a slaw or salad
- roast it within the oven
- sauté it (you possibly can sauté the leaves too!)
- puree right into a soup
- shred it into fritters!
I like the crispy exterior of those fritters – it makes for a severely satisfying meal. And paired with a vibrant lemony herb yogurt dressing, it’s legit.
