4 ounces fresh broccoli
4 ounces mozzarella cheese
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
The Sauce

¼ cup fresh chopped dill
½ tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Add broccoli to a food processor and process until broccoli is completely broken down.
2. Mix together the cheese, almond flour, ¼ cup flaxseed meal and baking powder with the broccoli. If you want to add any extra seasonings (salt and pepper), do it at this point.
3. Add the eggs and mix together well until everything is incorporated.
4. Roll the batter into balls and then coat with 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal.
5. Heat your deep fryer to 375F, then lay fritters inside the basket, not overcrowing it.

7. Make a zesty dill and lemon mayonnaise for a dip. Enjoy!
Tip: If you don’t like almond flour or if you have an allergy, you can make this recipe with coconut flour instead. Substitute the amount of almond flour for a third as much of coconut flour and double the number of egg whites.
