Method

  1. Place zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and stir through 1 tsp salt. Set aside for 15 minutes, then squeeze to remove excess liquid.

Flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side until golden, then drain on paper towel. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture
  2. For the dressing, place all ingredients in a food processor, season, and whiz until smooth.
  3. Toss radish, broad beans, pea shoots and remaining 1 tbs olive oil in a bowl. Serve fritters hot with dressing and salad.
