Halloumi & Carrot Fritters

Halloumi is one of our favourite cheeses, it works so well in these fritters. YOU MUST TRY!

Makes (12):
* 2 x carrots
* 2 spring onions
* 130g halloumi
* 1 tbsp smoked paprika
* 1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
* 1 egg
* vegetable oil

Instructions:
Grate the carrot and halloumi and pop them in a bowl. Mix together and then add the spring onions and mix again. Once all mixed through, Add the flour and 1tsp of paprika and mix in. Beat an egg and then add this to the mixture and stir until all the mixture is coated.

Pick up a small handful of the mixture and shape into a patty shape. Place on a board while you form the rest of the fritters and pop in the fridge for around 30 minutes to help them stay in shape.

Then add some vegetable oil into a frying pan for a shallow fry. Once the oil is hot, add the fritters and fry on each side for a few minutes each. If your pan isn’t big enough to fry them all at once, pop them on a plate in the oven so they stay nice and warm :)

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180c. Pop the beef into a pan and fry until the outside is browned. Place this in a casserole pot to the side and then fry the onions, garlic and carrot. After 3-4 minutes add the mushrooms to the mixture and fry for a further couple of minutes. Pop these in the casserole dish and add some beef stock, ale, flour and herbs before placing in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins.

After 1 hr 30 mins, drain the butterbeans and add the to the mixture. Place in the oven for a further 15 minutes. While this bubbles away in the oven, prepare the pastry. Roll this out and get it ready to top your pie! Once the pie mixture is cooked, place it in a pie dish and leave to cool for 15-20 minutes (until it stops steaming!!). Beat an egg and eggwash the edges of the dish before you add the pastry top and trim down to size. Eggwash the top of the pastry, add some cuts and any pastry decorations you wish! Bake for 30 minutes and enjoy!
