World Kitchen: Laverbread and cockle fritters
27th Sep 2022 Recipes
Enjoy traditional Welsh laverbread complemented by the delicious savoury flavours of cockles and parmesan, a perfect snack from chef Franco Taruschio
Chef Franco Taruschio shares a very special recipe for a scrumptious snack that’s easy to make but incredibly unique. Laverbread is a traditional Welsh product made from edible seaweed, and it pairs very well with the delicious savoury flavours of cockles and parmesan.
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Method
- Put the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and crack in the egg. Add a little water, then whisk the dry ingredients into the liquids until you have a smooth batter. Season with salt and pepper, but don’t use a lot because the main ingredients are salty already.
- Stir the grated parmesan into your batter, then fold through the laverbread and cockles. Make sure everything is well mixed and there are no lumps of flour left.
- Heat the sunflower or grapeseed oil in a large sturdy pan with deep sides. Drop a small piece of batter into the oil to check whether it’s at the right temperature to fry without browning too quickly.
- Carefully place dessert spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil in small batches, turning as needed and removing the fritters when they have a good colour all over. It should take about 6 minutes for them to turn golden. Place them on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil before serving at once, while the fritters are still hot.
