Ingredients (makes 12 fritters)
- 1/2 medium celeriac, grated (185 g/ 6.5 oz)
- 1 large carrot, grated (85 g/ 3 oz)
- 1 large zucchini, grated (285 g/ 10 oz)
- 1 cup drained sauerkraut (140 g/ 5 oz)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (70 g/ 2.5 oz)
- chilli flakes or any dried herbs, to taste
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 4 medium eggs
- 2 tbsp butter, ghee or duck fat, for cooking
Instructions
- Place the celeriac and carrot in a bowl of water with a pinch of salt. Leave to soak for 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a muslin cloth along with the zucchini and sauerkraut.
- Squeeze out the water and sauerkraut juice. Discard the liquid.
- Place the drained vegetables in a bowl, mix with the eggs, seasoning and chilli flakes.
- Mix to combine.
- Heat a little butter in a pan (about 1/2 tbsp) per 3 fritters (about 70 g/ 2.5 oz each fritter). Fry on a low-medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Ensure the heat isn’t too high so they don’t burn. Flip and cook for a further 5 to 6 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat until all the Low-carb Sauerkraut Fritters are cooked.
- Option to serve with watercress, more sauerkraut, maybe some avocado or how about crispy bacon or smoked salmon and cream cheese? Delicious! Taste best served hot, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
