# Instructions:
01 -
Steam or boil your broccoli until it's tender but not mushy - about 3 minutes in the microwave steamer. Then use a potato masher to gently squish it down, not completely mashed but just enough to flatten.
02 -
Mix together your yoghurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for the sauce. Set aside.
03 -
Lightly beat the egg, then mix in flour, parmesan, garlic, milk, salt, and pepper. Add your squished broccoli and stir to combine evenly.
04 -
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup portions of the mixture and flatten to about 1cm thick. Cook 3 at a time for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown.
05 -
Serve your fritters hot with the yoghurt sauce and lemon wedges if you like.
