Yummy fritters
This is a different way to use asparagus and make a change from steaming/grilling/roasting it! It’s a nice light summery fritter and could be nice as a starter or fabulous with a salad. It does seem a bit strange grating the asparagus but it works as well as courgette (zucchini) in a fritter! I used just dill for the herb flavour but you could play around with this…mint might be interesting..
As ever, I use coconut flour as the binding agent as for me, it soaks up the moisture and I always have a bag of it in my cupboard. Other flours would work as well.
