Prebiotic leek and curd cheese fritters

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
This meat-free fritter is a real surprise: the blend of curd cheese and breadcrumbs creates a texture during frying that is deceptively similar to traditional meatballs, but much lighter. The sweetish taste of sweated leek and the acidity of the curd complement each other beautifully. A perfect choice if you want to reduce meat consumption but crave familiar flavours and shapes.

Instructions

1 ✓

Clean the leek, cut into very small dice. Sweat in a pan with 1 tbsp oil until soft (approx. 5-6 mins), then let cool.

Tip: It is important the onion is small and soft, otherwise it remains chunky in the fritter and pokes out during shaping.
2 ✓

Place the curd cheese in a bowl and mash with a fork to remove large lumps.

Tip: Smoother curd binds better, making it easier to work with.
3 ✓

Add the cooled onion, egg, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley to the curd. Mix thoroughly.

Tip: Spices dissolve best in fatty mediums (curd, egg yolk).
4 ✓

Gradually add breadcrumbs while kneading the mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Tip: During resting, the crumbs absorb moisture, and the mixture 'sets', becoming mouldable.
5 ✓

With wet hands, shape ping-pong sized balls or flatter patties.

Tip: The mixture won't stick to wet hands, giving a nice smooth surface.
6 ✓

Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Tip: Oil shouldn't be too hot, or the outside will burn while the inside stays raw.

Recipe FAQ

What if the fritter falls apart when frying?
The mixture was probably too wet. Add a little more breadcrumbs and let stand for 10 minutes to absorb moisture.
Can I bake it in the oven?
Yes! At 200°C for approx. 20-25 minutes, brushed with oil or sprayed, it can be made on baking paper with less fat.
