Since I lost interest in meat in my diet I have started to become quite adventurous with vegetable dishes (by ‘adventurous’ I mean I am cooking them), frequently trying out new things and cooking with veges I haven’t ever considered cooking before. And then every so often I come across a really simple vege meal idea. These fritters took me all of about 15 minutes to prepare. Winner.
Ingredients:
2 red capsicum, roasted and chopped
1 red onion, diced
Small bunch coriander, shredded
100g feta, crumbled
1 egg
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground sea salt & pepper
¼ cup plain flour
Mix together capsicum, onion, coriander, feta, egg and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Season with sea salt and pepper. Mix in flour to achieve fritter consistency, adding more if needed. Heat a shallow frying pan with oil, scoop spoonfuls of mixture into the hot oil and cook until golden brown (2-3 minutes) then turn.
Place onto paper towel and blot off excess oil. Serve with an awesome summer salad.

Mum on the Run - I think I can smell them! Mmm.
They look the goods.
Vanessa - They look lovely Peggy. I always have feta in the fridge, so might try these on the weekend!
Nat - Muddy Farmwife - Yum Peggy! I think even my meat eating Farmer would gobble these up happily.
Leanne @ Uber Simplicity - Oh yummo! I'm going to have to try these out
Sonali-The Foodie Physician - These sound delicious and look amazing!
Teresa - Yummy! Will be giving these a crack. P.s great photography too, Pegs!
Lyndal - omg these look divine.. totally adding to next fortnights meal planner, thank you!
Mama of 2 boys - All good, except for the coriander, can't do it. Maybe I could substitute with another herb. They do look sensational though Peggy, love the colours. Yum!

jodda - These are gorgeous and sound so flavorful. I also am trying new veggie recipes. I have two questions. Are the capsicums the same as red bell pepper? And is the bunch of coriander the same as cilantro? (which I love but my family can't stand).

Peggy - They taste the goods Shar! The perfect back-to-school easy dinner. (I hope you ease back into it ok). xo
Peggy - Me too Vanessa, I have a selection of cheese in my fridge at any given time. The feta makes these little fritters really. Enjoy!
Peggy - Nat my meat eating hubby gobbled them up, he loved them! Chuck in more cheese to give them more substance if you like.
Peggy - Let me know how they go if you do Leanne.
Peggy - Thank you Sonali, they are pretty tasty!
Peggy - Thanks Teresa, I am loving getting up close with food these days. I have asked Flossy Photography to give me a lesson, and am eyeing off a nice little macro lens. I have started to really enjoy my new little hobby.
Peggy - You're welcome Lyndal, let me know what you think! It's a nice easy one to whip up.
Peggy - Jules you could substitute the coriander with parsley. Other fritter recipes I have seen have parsley in them, but I am mad about coriander and add it to most of my recipes that call for herbs.
Peggy - Hello Jodda, yes capsicums are the same as red bell peppers and coriander is cilantro. You could substitute the coriander for another herb like flat leaf parsley if you have that. You could even make these without any herbs added as the feta and peppers are both quite strong flavours. I hope you like them! And thank you for stopping by.
jodda - Thank you. I learned something today. When I read Capsicum, I first thought it was a hot pepper until I read the recipe. (I'm in the States). I came across your blog after The Foodie Physician linked to this recipe. I just love what recipes you have here.
I am going to try these for a Super Bowl party this weekend.
Sorry for the double post btw.
Veggie Mama - Seriously… how much broader does your eating and cooking get when you take meat out? It's crazy! Thanks for linking up, gorgeous. Will be trying this one for sure xx
Lisa Jay - Fritters are one of my favourite things to cook. These one's look great!
Peggy - Thank you Jodda, I love to hear how people came across my blog. And I especially love that you love my recipes! Please let me know if you do try them out and what you think.
The Foodie Physician is just lovely for sharing.
Thanks again for stopping by.
Peggy - Seriously, I can't get enough of new vege dishes! I am way more adventurous since cutting out meat from my diet and am always trying out new dishes. Love it! Let us know how you go lovely. xo
Peggy - Funny that I haven't cooked fritters in years, and then a friend gave me some at work and next thing I had to make some! They're too easy to make and so delicious!
Your ONE and ONLY Loving Mother - I made these today and they were a hit with hubby and his friend. I used parsley instead of coriander as I don't like it. Highly recommend!
Peggy - Pretty nice and easy hey! I am mad on coriander so I add that to pretty much everything, but parsley is ideal for fritters. I love that the 'cooker' is now trying MY recipes! How things have turned. xo
