Serves 4 Prep 20 mins Cook 20 mins

100g bulgur wheat 250g spinach 2 tsp ground cumin 1 onion, finely chopped (reserve

2 tbsp for the chutney) 1 garlic clove, chopped 85g fresh breadcrumb­s 5 eggs, 1 beaten 1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra

FOR THE CHUTNEY 5 tbsp sugar 50ml white wine vinegar 2 tbsp finely chopped onion (see above) 250g cherry tomatoes, halved salad leaves, to serve

1 First make the chutney. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar, vinegar and some salt. Boil for 1 min, then add the onion and tomatoes. Simmer for 1 min, then remove from the heat and set aside.

2 Boil the bulgur wheat in plenty of water until tender – about 5 mins. Drain well and tip into a bowl. Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water. Cool under the cold tap, then squeeze out water. Chop and add to the bulgur with the cumin, onion, garlic and breadcrumb­s. Tip half into a food processor and blitz to form a chunky paste. Return to the remaining half with the beaten egg and season. Mix, shape into eight patties and chill until ready to cook.

3 Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the fritters in two batches until crisp on both sides. Meanwhile, lightly oil a four-hole Yorkshire pudding tin and put in the oven to warm up. Remove and carefully crack an egg into each hole, then bake for 3- 4 mins until done to your liking. Use the tip of a knife to help lift out the eggs, then serve with the fritters, chutney and some salad leaves.
