Method
- Put the spinach, chives, cheese, pesto, egg, flour and milk in a food processor, and pulse until smooth and combined. Stir in the sweetcorn.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and brush with oil. Spoon in 1 heaped tbsp of batter per fritter, to make fritters 6-7cm wide. Cook for 1-2 mins each side until golden, then transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil to the pan between batches.
- Serve the fritters in pittas with shredded Little Gem, sliced cucumber and tzatziki, if you like.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Open-freeze the fritters, then put in freezer bags. Defrost before warming through in the microwave to serve. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
