• Growing up in an Italian family, with my mum as a
  chef, ricotta was a classic ingredient used in so
  many recipes. I wanted to create something
  plant-based that would work in the same way. The
  vegan ricotta in these fritters is so versatile
  and can be used for lasagna, cannelloni, and so
  much more. In this case, its the hero ingredient
  in these zucchini fritters.

• INGREDIENTS -
• 250 grams firm tofu
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy milk
• 3 large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons cornflour
• Light oil for shallow frying (I like light olive
  oil)

• METHOD
• Grate zucchini and sprinkle with salt to help
  bring out the water. Let sit for 20 minutes, then
  squeeze water out of the zucchini by hand or with
  a muslin cloth. You want to make sure the
  zucchini have most water removed.
• Sauté the chopped garlic in a saucepan with
  olive oil. Cook until garlic turns light brown.
  Set aside.
• Blend raw cashews in a food processor for about
  30 seconds or until they start to break down.
  Then add tofu, salt, nutritional yeast, milk and
  cooked garlic.
• Blend gently until you achieve a ricotta like
  consistency. Careful not to over blend.

• Transfer mixture to a bowl and add the grated
  zucchini and cornflour. Depending on how much you
  blend your tofu and cashews, you may need to add
  more cornflour to thicken the mixture.
• Grab a fry pan and heat up the oil. Be sure to
  coat the entire fry pan. Once the oil is hot,
  scoop a handful of the mixture into a ball like
  shape and place in oil to fry. Once brown turn
  over and cook other side.
• Serve with a salad. For a sauce I'd recommend my
  chili capsicum sauce, or pesto (found on my
  website).
