SWISS CHARD AND HERB FRITTERS
These golden brown fritters, which come from Shvil's Tunisian-Jewish family, are bursting with fresh flavor, thanks to a generous helping of Swiss chard, parsley, cilantro, and dill. They're especially delicious as part of the traditional Sephardic Rosh Hashanah seder meal.

Steps:
- Season chard with 1/2 tsp. salt. Let sit in a colander 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess water with your hands. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
- Finely grind coriander and caraway seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Finely chop cilantro, dill, and parsley.
- Toss chard, ground coriander and caraway seeds, herbs, onions, breadcrumbs, harissa, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Beat 3 eggs to blend in a small bowl, then stir into chard mixture.
- Working 3 Tbsp. at a time, portion chard mixture into round, flat patties (you should have about 25 total). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or plate.
- Shape 3 tablespoons of the mixture into round flat patties. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of 1/4" and heat over medium until shimmering. Beat remaining 3 eggs to blend in a medium wide shallow bowl.
- Dip each patty into egg, letting excess drip back into bowl. Working in batches, fry patties until set and a golden brown crust forms, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature with yogurt alongside, if using.
