Method

- In a large bowl place polenta, flour, salt, baking powder and cheese. Mix well
- Add cooked vegetables, zucchini, eggs and yogurt to the bowl, mix well
- Heat oil in a large non-stick fry pan over a medium heat. Measure 1/3 cupful's of the mix into the pan. Cook until fritters are golden, three minutes on each side. Drain on paper towel
- To serve, place poached eggs onto zucchini fritters along with rocket leaves and tomato relish
Poached eggs
- Fill a shallow pan with hot water and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to the boil, and then reduce to a simmer
- Crack the eggs into a little bowl first, and then when water is barely at a simmer, slide the eggs into the saucepan
- Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Set a timer for 6 minutes
- After 6 minutes remove eggs with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel to drain excess water
Notes
Prepare the fritter mix first, then cook in batches while eggs are cooking so that everything is served hot.
