Directions:
Carrot Fritters
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet and add onion; sauté until translucent, but not browned.
In the same pan, add the grated carrot and continue cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs and flour and mix thoroughly.
Add the cooled carrot and onion mixture, salt, pepper, cilantro, lemon juice, zest and goat cheese; mix well.
Form into small patties and fry until brown on both sides.

Chef Tip: Use a creamy goat cheese like chèvre for a milder flavor, or feta for a little more tang
Spicy Fritter Sauce
Combine chili sauce and juice in a medium sauce pan and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until mixture is reduced by almost half.
Serve with fritters.
