ricotta fritters

- 500g fresh ricotta
- ¼ cup (20g) finely grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons plain (all-purpose) flour, plus extra, for dusting
- ¼ cup chopped chives
- 1 egg
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 eggwhite
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- tomato, mint and onion salad, to serve
- Place the ricotta, parmesan, flour, chives, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well to combine.
- Whisk the eggwhite until stiff peaks form. Fold through the ricotta mixture. Shape ¼-cupfuls of the mixture into fritters and dust with the extra flour. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the fritters, in batches, for 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned. Serve with a tomato, mint and onion salad.
