Method
- Put the tahini, whole parsley leaves, the garlic, lemon juice and half the yogurt in a blender and blitz to a smooth sauce. Transfer to a bowl, stir through the remaining yogurt and season to taste. Transfer to the fridge until needed.
- Mix the spring greens, most of the remaining herbs, the eggs, flour and cumin in a bowl with some seasoning to make a thick batter.
- Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Working in batches, dollop 1 tbsp batter per fritter into the pan and fry for 1-2 mins on each side until golden, pressing the fritters down when flipping. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and repeat with the remaining oil and batter to make 8 fritters.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges and the rest of the herbs, with the tahini sauce alongside.
Tip: Swap the spring greens for 1 large, grated courgette or 2 grated carrots.
