1. Combine 1 cup flour with eggs, 1/2 tub ricotta, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp lemon zest and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Finely dice onion and ham. Grate zucchini. Add to batter and mix well.
3. Using a stick mixer, blend remaining ricotta with mint leaves, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice to a smooth consistency, season with salt and pepper.
4. Tear and rinse lettuce leaves. Halve tomatoes, slice cucumber and chop orange. Arrange on a platter and top with sprouts.
5. Heat a large frypan with oil (enough to coat the base, see notes) over medium heat. Using 1/3 cup measure, cook fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Flatten with a spatula.
6. Serve fritters accompanied by salad and mint sauce for dipping.
Notes:
We used self-raising flour for this dish. If using plain flour, add 1 tsp baking powder, or alternatively use gluten-free plain or buckwheat flour (for a GF alternative).
Make sure you use a non-stick pan or alternatively line your frypan with baking paper when cooking to ensure batter doesn’t stick to the pan.
