Bok Choy & Shiitake Chickpea-Flour Fritters with Olio Nuovo

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olio Nuovo
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• 2 cups sliced shiitake caps
• 2 cups baby bok choy, washed and chopped
• 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
• ¾ cup chickpea flour
• ½ cup water
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons additional neutral oil, for frying
• ½ cup plain yogurt, for serving

Method

1. Whisk the featured oil with the lemon juice and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced shiitake caps. Cook for 3 minutes, then add ¼ cup water, cover and cook for 8–15 minutes, until tender. Uncover to evaporate excess water. Stir in baby bok choy, washed and chopped and cook until wilted.
3. Chop the cooked vegetables finely and cool. Whisk the chickpea flour, water and baking powder into a thick batter; fold in the vegetables and seasoning mixture.
4. Heat a thin layer of the additional oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook heaped-tablespoon portions for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and firm in the middle. Serve with yogurt.
