Directions
Herbed Ricotta Fritters, From Australian Super Food Ideas April 2007 Times at this point are estimated though I have included 1 hour chill time in preparation , These are going to be great fun when winter goes away and I can do these outside Followed recipe and made my own self rising flour, chilled the mixture overnight I deep fryed at restaurant today Were fun to watch-they laid in the bottom and then popped to the surface when golden brown took a bite and burned my tongue mmmm good Redid them, and let them cool and devoured them 5 stars to a delicious fritter that will see veggies and other herbs added into them for our midweterners taste , Absolutely delicious! used local French Brousse, which is like a Ricotta type curd cheese – it sits in a sieve in the carton, so it was drained already! I made no changes other than to up the quantities of cheese by 1/2 cup – we love cheese! I also, used about half the vegetable oil and almost dry/shallow fried them – instead of immersion frying they were fine You NEED the chilling time – I took mine out after one hour and decided to out them abck for another hour I think they would work very well being chilled over night I ate these for brunch today – and should imagine they would be great as a base for an appetiser with added vegetables and possibly bacon! Lovely recipe, thanks for posting it! FT;-)
