This fantastic fritter recipe is a lighter alternative to traditional fritters.
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 5 –10 mins
Serves 4

FRITTERS
oil for deep frying
100g/4 oz self raising flour
pinch of salt
15ml/1 tbsp vegetable oil
30ml/2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
200ml/7 floz sparkling mineral water
2 (200g) cans SPAM Lite
60ml/4 tbsp plain flour

SALSA
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 large red chilli, deseeded and chopped
30ml/2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
45ml/3 tbsp tomato ketchup

1. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 180C/350F. Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl, make a well in the middle. Add the oil, mustard and gradually stir in the mineral water. Lightly mix until smooth and lump free. Slice each can of SPAM Lite into four. Sprinkle the plain flour onto a plate and season with black pepper.

2. To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Chill until required.

3. When the oil is hot, coat two of the SPAM slices in flour, then dip in the batter before dropping into the hot fat. Fry for 2-3 mins, turning until the fritters are golden and crisp.

Use a slotted spoon to lift from the oil and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining SPAM and batter to make 8 fritters. Serve immediately with potato wedges and the salsa.

Am I missing the upside to this marvelous addition?

All I know is that out-of-the-blue it shows up to irritate me.

I want it dead on a spear, I want it fileted and grilled in butter, I want it as a side with green eggs and ham, Sam I am.



I would eat it in the rain,
I would eat it on a train,
I would eat it in a box,
I would eat it with a fox.

I want to comsume and destroy anti-spam,
sam I am.

I agree it is a pain, it happens every time I preview a post, which I used to always do.

Can you grill something "in butter" btw. Wouldn&#39;t that be sauté, surely when you grill something it is a dry process other than the foods own moisture.

I would, however; be in favor of a program the was "anti-nitpicking". Oh, and don&#39;t called me "shirley".

One rabbit&#39;s nit-picking is another man&#39;s search for accuracy in a world gone lax.

This morning, for the first time, I saw the Anti-Spam program working equally well for all members of the Forum. It worked for about eight hours.

What is the anti-spam program?

[jetje]

[FunkyDog]

Looks like you&#39;re on the right track.

You go girl&#33;
