Makes: 6 fritters
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
• 4 large baby marrows
• 5 ml salt, to taste
• 50 ml chives, chopped
• 2 extra large eggs, beaten
• 250 ml self-raising flour
• oil
1 Roughly grate the marrow, season with salt and allow to stand for about 10 minutes. Place the marrow in a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze out all the moisture, then season to taste with salt and pepper and mix it with the chives, eggs and self-raising flour.
2 Heat a well-oiled pan. Once hot, dish large spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and fry over mild heat until crispy on both sides. Serve with poached eggs, sour cream and a lemon wedge. Crispy bacon is an optional extra.
Tip Arrange the fried fritters on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven for about 10 minutes after they’ve been fried; this will ensure that they’re cooked through.
