Celeriac Fritters

Well I was playing about in the kitchen this week....with that Slow Cooker Celeriac I did last week. I wanted to make some Celeriac Fritters.....these are something I saw on Janey's blog at Slice of Slim and I love them.....check it out here.......but Janey is obviously more skilled than I am because I can't get mine to flip in the pan without me breaking them up!!! Although I don't know if using the equivalent amount of just egg whites instead of the whole eggs that Janey advises might have something to do with it......



Anyway........ to make the fritters I cooked my celeriac in the slow cooker (doing it this way had no effect on the consistency of the finished mixture to I'll be going back to cooking it in the microwave I think) and mashed it with a potato masher, I added a tin of sweetcorn, 8 tablespoons of Two Chicks Egg White and a scraping of nutmeg. I tried again to do them in my small frying pan......

 
........but turning them was a nightmare so I decided that I would try cooking them in the oven....they turned out fine actually.....I had three with my dinner that night and have put the rest in the freezer to use this week. I sprayed the foil with spray Oil and put tablepoons of the mix on, flattened it out and baked them in the oven on 160deg fan for 20 mins....when I checked them I decided I wanted them a little more browned off around the edges so I turned the oven up to 200 deg for the last 10 minutes.

I served mine with my Turkey mince burger (which was turkey mince mixed with lemon zest and juice, onion and a tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce) and I whizzed up a portion of "Cauliflower cheese".....its in quotes because its not a traditional Cauli cheese recipe!! I browned off a couple of tablespoons of shallot and added a tablespoon of water to stop it sticking, then I added 2 tablespoons of Philadelphia Lightest and let that melt into a sauce, I then added 20g of finely grated My Protein cheese and a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard. I zapped my cauli in the microwave for a couple of minutes and then poured the cheese mix over, and browned off two turkey rashers which I had cut into strips, topped it with a slice of WW malted danish bread whizzed into breadcrumbs and finished the whole lot with 20g of Cheddar. ........15 mins in a hot oven and bobs your uncle....


Lets stay strong guys
