SPICY FAVA BEAN FRITTERS WITH LEMON MINTED YOGURT
Steps:
- These fritters make a delicious snack. They not only taste awesome but they look amazing - dark and crunchy on the outside, bright green and soft inside! They're simple to make, and the spiciness just makes them work. This dish is best made with early season, fresh-as-a-daisy, pastel-green fava beans. Or you can use frozen fava beans - simply defrost them and pinch off the skins.
- Boil any larger white-skinned fava beans for 30 seconds, then drain. When cool, pinch their skins off - they'll taste less bitter if you do this. Now whiz the cilantro and half the mint in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, and then add the spices, chile, fava beans and lemon zest and whiz until finely chopped (stopping once or twice to scrape the mixture off the sides). Sprinkle in the flour and pulse for a few seconds. Don't add any more flour or the mixture will become too dry.
- Get a large saucepan and pour in the vegetable oil until it's 2 to 3 inches deep. Be careful - keep kids and pets away, and make sure the handle isn't sticking out so you don't accidentally catch it and spill the hot oil. Heat the oil. To check whether it's hot enough for frying, drop in the piece of potato - as soon as it sizzles and floats to the top, you're in business. Remove the potato and discard it.
- Cover a plate with a sheet of waxed paper. Scoop up a small amount of the fava bean mixture and either use your hands or 2 spoons to shape it into little rounds, then put them onto the plate. When they're all done, carefully lower 1of them into the hot oil with a slotted spoon and fry until crispy brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. When you've got the hang of it, fry the rest of them - they should all fit into the pan at the same time but, if not, simply do in batches.
- For the lemon minted yogurt, squeeze half the lemon juice into the yogurt. Pick and chop the rest of your the leaves and stir them in, adding salt and pepper, to taste. Dress your salad leaves with a squeeze of lemon juice and some olive oil.
- Sprinkle the fritters with salt and serve with the lemon minted yogurt, the dressed salad leaves and some pickled chilies.

Tips:
- Use whole milk: Whole milk produces a thicker, creamier yogurt than low-fat or skim milk.
- Choose the right yogurt culture: There are many different types of yogurt cultures available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Experiment with different cultures to find one that you like.
- Maintain a consistent temperature: Yogurt needs to be incubated at a consistent temperature of around 110-115°F (43-46°C) in order to properly ferment.
- Let the yogurt ferment for at least 6 hours: The longer you ferment the yogurt, the tangier it will become. For a mild flavor, ferment for 6-8 hours. For a tangier flavor, ferment for 12-24 hours.
- Strain the yogurt: Straining the yogurt removes the whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier yogurt. You can strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth-lined colander or a yogurt strainer.
- Sweeten the yogurt to taste: If you like your yogurt sweet, you can add honey, maple syrup, or sugar to taste.
- Flavor the yogurt: You can flavor the yogurt with a variety of ingredients, such as fruits, berries, nuts, or spices.
Conclusion:
Making homemade yogurt is a simple and rewarding process. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious, healthy yogurt that is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or desserts. So next time you're in the mood for yogurt, give this recipe a try!
