Fava Bean Fritters

The fritters are delicious served with something fresh and something creamy, like a leafy green salad and some garlic yoghurt, hummus or cottage cheese. Any leftover fritters can be freshened up by toasting for a few minutes - making them a great option to pack in a lunchbox for work.

The vegetables in this recipe are suggestions rather than a strict list to follow - any veg will work well so they're a great way to use up leftovers.

This is our first recipe from the brilliant Órfhlaith Noone, a chef, recipe developer, and food stylist from Dublin, based in Sevenoaks, Kent. (And for anyone wondering—that’s the Irish spelling of Orla.) 

After training at Ireland’s Ballymaloe Cookery School, Órfhlaith worked as a sourdough baker, events caterer, short-order cook, head chef, and private chef, cooking everywhere from the South of France to the Scottish Highlands. She also spent time as a stageur (chef’s apprentice) in Lima, Peru, before pivoting into the world of recipe development. Her favourite ingredient is chickpeas and the highlight of her career to date has been cooking for Rick Astley on their joint birthday. 

Órfhlaith’s style of food is eclectic, fun and decidedly un-fussy. Follow her on @orfhlaithnoone and her website orfhlaithnoone.com
