Ingredients

• 1 14 oz can Heart of palm
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 small, finely chopped Red bell pepper
• 2 stalks, chopped Green onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Dulse flakes
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the heart of palm, then finely chop it to resemble shredded seafood.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, green onion, and garlic to the dry mixture.

Step 4

Stir in the heart of palm, cumin, smoked paprika, dulse flakes, and fresh parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the vegan Worcestershire sauce, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined. The batter should be thick but not dry. If necessary, add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 350°F/175°C).

Step 8

Spoon the batter (about 2 tablespoons per fritter) into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite vegan dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
