Recipe of Chard fritters

Vida Recetas Editorial

Chard fritters are a simple, economical, and delicious recipe, perfect for using chard leaves in a different way. This preparation, typical of home cooking, consists of a light batter made with flour, egg, and seasonings, to which finely chopped chard is added and fried in plenty of oil until golden. They are ideal as an appetizer, side dish, or light main course, and they are enjoyed by both children and adults, even by those who are not very fond of vegetables.

Their origin lies in the tradition of using seasonal vegetables in crispy fritters, similar to buñuelos or pakoras. The batter, seasoned with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley, enhances the mild flavor of chard, creating a golden exterior and a tender interior. This recipe is very versatile: you can serve it with a yogurt sauce, aioli, or simply with lemon. They are also an excellent option for a quick dinner or to include more vegetables in the diet in an appealing way, as they provide few calories and are quite filling.

There are variations that add grated cheese to the batter, or that bake the fritters instead of frying them for a lighter version. Either way, chard fritters are a delicious way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable.
