I often fancy something that’s a bit spicy and a cheesy and I usually end up going for cheese on toast with a drizzle of spicy brown sauce but this recipe is equally as cheap, quick easy to make but is so different to my normal bog standard fare! And it’s meat free!!

This is one of TV Chef, Gary Rhodes recipes. They’re usually cooked with beef and baked in a Malaysian pastry parcel but he’s adapted them to suit vegetarians and to utilise more readily available puff pastry. They’re designed as a starter but I think they would be perfect for an alfresco dinner party with salad.

Having recently experienced the delights of mozzarella and jalapeno fritters from my local fish & chip shop (yep, you guessed it, I am British!), I was delighted to find this recipe for goats cheese fritters, although I think it would suit any crumbly cheese if you are not into goats.
