These fritters are an easy and fast meal for all of the family. They also meet the 'Everyday' criteria in the Food and Beverage Classification System. The servings in this recipe are intended for children so if you're cooking these for adults you may not feed as many as the yield states.
Mix together gently; chopped mussels, eggs, flour, parsley, spring onion, milk, yoghurt and baking powder
Heat a large heavy based frying pan
Use a little oil at a time
Drop 2 tablespoons of batter onto pan for each fritter
Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through
Tips
These fritters are best served with a simple salad and a slice of lemon
If you like your food to have a kick, finely chop a small chilli and mix into the batter
If the batter is too thick add extra low fat milk in small amounts to thin it out
For a vegetarian fritter you can substitute the same quantity of grated zucchini for the mussel meat
For a banana fritter use the same weight of lightly mashed banana as the mussel meat. Delete the parsley and spring onion and add half a cup of sugar for 25 fritters
