These flavour-packed fritters are best eaten screaming hot and still crispy straight from the pot, so be sure to make the tomato sambal ahead of time. Candlenuts need to be cooked before consuming, so don’t be tempted to have a nibble.

QUINOA ASPARAGUS FRITTERS WITH LEMON-TAHINI YOGHURT & SUMAC
Fritters such as these are a great way to use up any leftover quinoa. They have a dense texture but the rich nuttiness of the grain comes through. I have made these gluten free, but use plain flour or rice flour if you prefer.

TUATUA FRITTERS WITH SEAWEED MAYONNAISE
With tuatua there is nothing nicer than mixing the chopped meat with a simple batter, and frying. Here I have stretched the mix further with cabbage and potato. I use Lauraine Jacobs’ method of freezing the fresh tuatua in their shells so they only get cooked once, or use Cloudy Bay tuatua that are easy to shuck. If time is short mix the seaweed, lemon and togarashi seasoning into good-quality mayo to serve.
