To cook broccoli [on stove-top]:
- bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes.
- Strain broccoli from water and allow to cool until it can be handled.
- Chop up florets into small bits, almost like a coarse grain consistency.
To cook broccoli [in microwave]:
- Add broccoli florets to a microwave-safe bowl and top with 1 tbsp of water.
- Cook in microwave for 2 minutes. May need 1 minute longer depending on microwave but test to see if it’s cooked through at 2 minutes.
- Remove from microwave and let cool for a few minutes or until it can be handled.
- Chop up florets into small bits, almost like a coarse grain consistency.
For the fritters:
- In a large bowl combine chopped up broccoli with all other ingredients (except oil). Stir to combine.
- Add 1 tbsp of oil to a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Spoon roughly a 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and flatten with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Repeat until batter is all used. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, adding oil in between if necessary.
- Serve warm or store in fridge and reheat. Will keep in fridge for up to 3 days.
