If you’re looking for a simple appetiser and a tasty meat-free meal, consider these irresistible crumbed broccoli bites.

Serves 4-6.

Ingredients

• 2 heads broccoli
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup corn flour
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 60g butter
• 60ml oil

Method

1. Wash and dry the broccoli then divide it into florets. Beat eggs with the baking powder, 1 tablespoon of plain flour, 2 tablespoons of corn flour, garlic, pepper and salt to taste.
2. Mix the rest of the flour and sesame seeds separately. Roll each broccoli floret first in the sesame-flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, in the sesame mix once again.
3. Heat oil and butter in a deep frying pan, until a pinch of crumb sizzles when placed in the pan. Place broccoli to fry in heated oil and butter evenly.
4. Drain the ready crumbed broccoli on a cooking grid.
