### Ingredients

(use organic ingredients where possible)

- 2 cups grated vegetables (zucchini, carrot or sweet potato)
- 2 free-range eggs
- ½ cup onion, finely chopped/ grated

### Directions

2. Squeeze the vegetables in order to get rid of excess water, and then mix with the onion, the spices, and the eggs.
3. In a frying pan, heat the oil or butter and fry the batter in batches of 4 small pancake-sized fritters for about 2 minutes each side.
