FRIED RICOTTA PATTIES WITH TOMATO SALAD
This recipe comes from the June 2011 edition of South African "Food and Home Entertaining", and it's from Anna Montali. However, I tweaked the recipe. It is posted as part of an Antipasti spread, but I found it absolutely great as a low-carb side dish instead of rice or potatoes! It's especially nice served with meat gravy, as it is fairly bland on its own. Quick and easy recipe!

Steps:
- Make the tomato salad: slice the little plums in half and put in a bowl. Fork through the basil, salt and chopped hot pepper, then add the olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and set aside.
- In a bowl, break up the ricotta until loose. Mix in the Parmesan and flour. (I used quinoa flour purely because I had it at hand).
- Add the seasoning salt, pepper and garlic, and mix well. (Use a good seasoning salt with pronounced flavours, preferably with a touch of chilli in it!).
- Whisk the egg in a bowl until just mixed (don't whip to a foam), add to the cheese mixture, and fold in well. The mixture will look loose, but you should be able to form quite firm patties with your hand.
- (At this stage the mixture can be left in the fridge for the flavours to mix, if there is time).
- Heat enough oil in a non-stick frying pan, form patties a little larger than a tablespoon, and fry about 3 minutes per side before flipping -- until nicely golden brown on both sides. Mine all fitted into a square pan at the same time.
- Keep warm, but serve with the tomato salad as accompaniment.
- Ideal as a side dish with meat and vegetables.
