Ingredients

3 British Blacktail Free Range Large Eggs
2 tbsp whole milk
50g self-raising flour
2 salad onions, finely sliced
2 tbsp coriander leaves, roughly chopped
½ 250g pack microwaveable quinoa
195g sweetcorn, drained
½ unwaxed lemon, zested then cut into wedges
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
100g pack No.1 Truffle Flavoured Smoked Salmon
1 avocado, small

Method

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg and the milk. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter, then stir in the salad onions, coriander, quinoa, and sweetcorn. Season, then add the zest of 1⁄2 and juice of 1⁄4 lemon.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. To make 6 fritters, put heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and leave for 3 minutes, then turn over and cook for a final 1-2 minutes, until golden and crisp on both sides. Transfer to a plate and dab with kitchen paper to dry.
Meanwhile, poach the remaining 2 eggs in a saucepan of barely simmering water for 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set. Lift out with a slotted spoon; drain off any excess water.
Arrange the fritters on plates and top with the salmon, avocado, and eggs. Cut the remaining 1⁄4 lemon into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over.

Cook’s tip

Use up leftover quinoa by adding to salads, scattering over soups, or for bulking up meatballs or burgers.
