Savoury Herbs Ball Fritters | Gluten free * Vegan
These gluten free herbs savory fritters are just the perfect idea for an aperitif at home!
Servings 20 small fritters ca.
Ingredients
- 100 grams gluten free white rice flour
- 50 grams potato or other gluten free starch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (non flavored) *or 1 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 100 grams unflavoured gluten free plant-based yogurt (best if soy)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, sage, rosemary, parsley, chives
- seed oil for frying
Instructions
- in a bowl combine rice flour, starch, salt, baking powder and mix well
- add the plant based yogurt and mix with a spoon until you get a semi-soft batter
- if dry ingredients don’t incorporate well with the yogurt, add a couple tablespoon of water and mix again
- divide the batter into as many parts as the herbs you want to flavour them with
- finely slice a few leaves of your favorite herbs (parsley, sage, rosemary, chive etc) and add them to the batters, or you can simply add a mix of them to the whole batter
- let the batter rest for 15 minutes
- add a couple inches of seed oil to a small deep sauce pan and heat it over medium heat (it’s ready when you insert a toothpick and the oil makes tiny bubbles around it)
- fry the batter one teaspoon at a time
- start with one teaspoon of batter to check if the oil is at the right temperature: if the fritter gets brown quickly, the oil is too hot. Slightly low the heat, wait a minute and try again
- fry and flip the fritters around until they are nice and golden (it should take 2-3 minutes)
- place them in a plate over kitchen paper to absorb oil in excess
- once you’re finished frying, sprinkle them with salt and serve them freshly made and still warm
