Herby Fritters with Green Goddess Sauce
There’s a tendency to think of herbs as only a garnish, a little bit of pretty green on top of a dish. At Clove, we believe that if you’re going to use herbs, we want you to taste them, and if you’re going to buy herbs, we want you to use the whole bunch.
Our herby fritters and green goddess sauce will make your herbs shine. So, if the garden is heaving with mint, dill, or parsley, or there was a 2-for-1 deal at the grocer, this is the recipe to save.
Fritters are a 24/7 type of meal, so make extra and keep them in the fridge. Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, drinks, a midnight snack – every time is fritter time. Plus, the green sauce lasts well and is delicious as a salad dressing, drizzled over grilled meats, or dolloped onto baked potatoes.
The herby quantities are suggestions only, so go rogue and use the herbs you have.
Price range: €1.72 through €41.23
Step 1
Start by making the sauce. Roughly chop the dill and mint leaves, and break the feta up slightly. Place in a food processor, along with the yoghurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and blitz until well combined. Add a splash of water to loosen the mix and blitz again. Spoon into a small bowl or jar and set aside.

Step 2
Finely slice the onion, roughly chop the dill, mint and parsley and put in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Grate the potato and give it a good squeeze over the sink to remove any excess liquid, then add to the bowl. Add minced garlic, fennel seeds and chilli flakes, if using, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk gently. Stir in the flour until combined, then add the feta, salt and pepper and mix again.
Step 5
Pour the cheesy egg mixture into the bowl with the herby-potato-onion mix and stir to combine. It will seem quite dry at first, but the onion and potato will release a little bit of liquid as you stir, so keep mixing until everything comes together.
Step 6
Cover a flat plate with paper towel and set aside. In a frypan, heat oil over medium heat and drop in ¼ cup measurements of the fritter mix. Flatten slightly with a fork and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to the line plate, repeat until all the fritters are cooked.
Step 7
Serve hot with the green sauce and lemon wedges.
