Broad Bean Tip Fritters Recipe

My broad beans are coming along nicely and getting to the stage where I can pinch out the tips for these simple, tasty and healthy Broad Bean Tip Fritters.

Pinch out the tips of your broad beans with a few flowers as well if they are flowering – as many tips as you want fritters. This recipe makes enough batter for about 10-12.

3 egg whites
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup arrowroot
Pinch sea salt
Handful mint leaves, chopped

Whip the egg whites in a bowl, then add other ingredients to form a light batter.

Dip the broad beans tips in the batter, then pan-fry them in olive oil until brown and crispy.

They are delicious served with a green paste such as Pesto or the Middle Eastern Zhoug.
