Fritter Ingredients

Method

Fritter Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Swiss Chard

    Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly under running water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped Swiss chard, all-purpose flour, eggs, chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a thick batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. You should have enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet generously.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm, with your choice of dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
