Butternut and Feta Fritters

Ingredients:

500g butternut squash, deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
225g feta, broken up
Bunch of spring onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Lemon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 medium eggs
Handful fresh coriander, chopped
50g plain flour
Vegetable oil, for frying

Method:

1. Put the butternut squash pieces in a roasting tin. Drizzle them with the olive oil, season and toss together. Roast for 25 minutes until it they become tender. Set aside to cool.

2. In a food processor, add the feta, onions, garlic, lemon juice, nutmeg, eggs and coriander. Whizz to a purée. Add the squash, flour and some seasoning, then pulse to a chunky mixture. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover and chill for 30 minutes.

3. Add vegetable oil to a large frying pan over a medium heat. Using two dessert spoons, scoop some fritter mixture into one and use the other to shape it into a rugby-ball shape.

4. Put the fritters in the pan to fry for three-to-four minutes, turning them halfway until they turn golden.

5.Remove them a slotted spoon. Drain them on kitchen paper and let them cool while you fry the rest. Serve with the dip of your choice and enjoy.
