In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated parsnips, fried onion mixture, flour and a pinch of sea salt. Gradually add 100ml water, mixing until sticky.Step 3
Wipe the frying pan clean with kitchen towel, then return to the hob with 1½ tbsp oil. Scoop up 1-2 tbsp of the mixture and drop it into the pan, flattening with the back of a spoon. Repeat to make 6 fritters, frying for 2-3 mins on each side or until crispy and golden. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen towel. Add the remaining oil and repeat with the remaining fritter mixture to make 12 fritters in total.Step 4
Meanwhile, for the salsa combine the pomegranate seeds, red onion, juice of ½ lime and coriander in a small bowl with a pinch of sea salt and a drizzle of oil. In a separate bowl, stir the juice of ½ lime into the yoghurt with a pinch of salt.Step 5
Serve the fritters with the yoghurt, salad leaves and salsa, with the lime wedges for squeezing over. Leftovers will keep chilled in a sealed container for up to 3 days – enjoy hot or cold.
