How to make Swiss Chard and Herb Fritters

Season chard with 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let sit in a colander 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess water with your hands. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.

Finely grind coriander and caraway seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Finely chop coriander, dill, and parsley.

Toss chard, ground coriander and caraway seeds, herbs, onions, breadcrumbs, harissa, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Beat 3 eggs to blend in a small bowl, then stir into chard mixture.

Working 45ml at a time, portion chard mixture into round, flat patties (you should have about 25 total). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or plate.

Shape 45ml of the mixture into round flat patties. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of 1/4" and heat over medium until shimmering. Beat remaining 3 eggs to blend in a medium wide shallow bowl.

Dip each patty into egg, letting excess drip back into bowl. Working in batches, fry patties until set and a golden brown crust forms, 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.

Serve immediately or at room temperature with yoghurt alongside, if using.
