Ingredients
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 raw beetroot, grated
- sea salt
- 1 egg, separated
- 80g fresh ricotta 2.8 oz
- 5g parmesan, grated 0.175 oz
- 40g almond meal
- 10g fresh chives, chopped
- 10g flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 140g smoked salmon, fillet or slices
Instructions
- Make a quick pickle by pouring the apple cider vinegar over the beetroot with a little salt. Stir through and set aside in the fridge.
- In a bowl, mix the egg yolk, ricotta, parmesan and ground almonds together with the chives and parsley. Set this aside while you whisk the egg white/s into soft peaks in a separate bowl.
- Fold the egg whites through the ricotta mix gently - trying to keep as much air in as possible.
- Heat oil in a non-stick frypan and drop tablespoons of batter in (about 3-4 per serving) - flatten them out so they’re an even thickness. Cook for 2 minutes on each side - until golden brown and set in the middle. Tip: cook in batches if your fry pan is small.
- Serve warm, topped with the beetroot and flake over smoked salmon. Sprinkle with some extra chives.
