Pumpkin, Pea and Haloumi Fritters
A fritter is a small fried cake usually with vegetables or fruits involved...add cheese and you are speaking my language! Breakfast, lunch is ready!
I love a good fritter. Fritters are also the perfect way to use up leftover veggies, so be creative, add in anything you have hiding in the back of the fridge as long as it doesn’t resemble a science experiment! The Miso Butter is not essential, but it does bring something a little extra to your late night foodie game!
Of course this is also perfect for weekend breakfasting...thus it's inclusion in The Weekend Table, selling out fast! Go get your copy kids. They are not going into reprint! (It is my favourite cookbook ever and I use it myself as it has literally all of my fave recipes in one edition.)
