Sage & Celeriac Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Red Onion (small, finely sliced)
- 1 clove Garlic (large, finely diced)
- 150 g Smoked Pancetta (diced)
- 200 g Celeriac
- 8 leaves Sage
- 2 tbsp Parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp Chickpea flour
- 2 Eggs (whisked)
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a medium heat and gently cook the onion and pancetta for about 5 minutes and then add in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Peel the celeriac and grate the flesh using the coarsest grater option you have.
- Squeeze out any excess liquid from the celeriac.
- Combine all the ingredients together into a large mixing bowl.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan to a medium heat and add a small glug of olive oil.
- Drop one heaped tablespoon of the mixture into the frying pan into a pattie shape.
- Then press down with a spatula so it is flat and cooks evenly. You will probably be able to cook three fritters at a time.
- Cook the patties for 5 minutes each side until brown and crispy.
- Serve with mayonnaise or ketchup and a lovely green salad or broccoli florets.
Notes
- Egg-free – use an egg replacement powder such as Orgran
- Stores in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

These were a real hit with our kids, 9,6,2 we didn’t have Sage so used a tbsp of Za’Tar and it worked really well! We know we’ll have a celeriac in the next few veg boxes and this is the only way the kids have eaten it yet!
