Ingredients
- 120g Co-op ricotta
- 2 Co-op British free range eggs, yolks and whites separated
- 80g Co-op self raising white flour
- Zest of 1 lemon, 1 tsp juice, plus wedges to serve
- 300g Co-op Greek style natural yogurt
- 2 handfuls mixed fresh herbs (we used parsley, basil and dill) roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
- 3 tbsp Co-op olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
For the relish
- 2 tsp Co-op Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Co-op olive oil
- 50g leftover Co-op whole pickled gherkins, finely chopped, plus
- 1 tsp vinegar from the jar

Method
- Mix the ricotta, egg yolks and flour with half the lemon zest and half the yogurt, then season
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold through the ricotta mixture, along with the herbs
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a nonstick frying pan
- Add spoonfuls of the batter to make fritters, flatten slightly and cook over a low-medium heat for 3-4 mins on each side
- Repeat with the remaining batter
- Meanwhile, make the relish: whisk the mustard, oil and gherkin vinegar until smooth. Season, then stir in the chopped gherkins and celery
- In a separate bowl, mix the garlic with the remaining yogurt, oil and lemon zest, plus the lemon juice
- Spoon onto the fritters, scatter with the extra herbs, then serve with the lemon wedges and relish
