Whitebait is a Kiwi favourite, and it’s also very keto-friendly if you make the fritters without any flour (like the recipe below). So very good!
Ingredients:
- 400 g (14 oz) of whitebait
- 4 eggs
- 60 ml (2 fluid oz) of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Juice of 2 lemons
Recipe:
- Rinse the whitebait in water (using a sieve) and blot dry with a paper towel.
- Whisk the eggs together, and add the whitebait.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
- Heat the oil in a large frypan (don’t put all the oil in at once, just use enough to thinly cover the base of the pan and top it up as you go along).
- Add spoonfuls of whitebait mixture to the oil, each one the size of a fritter.
- Let the fritters cook on each side for approximately 2-3 minutes until the egg has set and the fritter is golden brown.
- Continue making batches until all whitebait has been used.
- Put the fritters onto two plates and serve with the lemon juice squeezed over them, and/or with a carb-friendly tartare sauce.
- One serving below is equal to half of the fritters.
