HIRSCH’s is giving away a copy of HIS & HIRSCH’S cookbook by Richard and Simone Hirsch every week for three weeks. In this week’s Highway Mail, we asked you to identify the missing ingredient in this recipe. Here’s the recipe (and we’ve made it very easy to spot the missing ingredient).
BUTTERNUT FRITTERS WITH ROCKET, BLUE CHEESE AND ONION MARMALADE
These are delicious treats, super as a starter or snack. They may be used as a fairly substantial main course, with the addition of extra salad. This is a great way to use up any leftover butternut. Its tempting to overindulge in this delicious combo of butternut, with blue cheese and onion marmalade.
