Instructions

Step 1

Cook the beans in a pan of boiling water for 3 minutes or microwave according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and refresh with cold water.

Step 2

Peel off the outer bean skins and discard. Set the beans to one side.

Step 3

In a large bowl mix the flour, eggs and milk with an electric whisk until you make a smooth batter.

Step 4

Add the cheese, spring onions, herbs and reserved beans to the batter. Season. Gently mix.

Step 5

Use the olive oil to wipe around a non-stick frying pan. Heat the pan on the hob until hot.

Step 6

Add spoonfuls of the batter mixture to the pan, making sure they are well spaced apart. You will need to cook the fritters in batches.

Step 7

Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter until you have 16-20 fritters.

Step 8

Serve with a crisp side salad. Delicious dipped in sweet chilli sauce.
