For the season that often screams indulgence, I like to search out the light, and these fluffy fritters are a delight that even my toddler will devour. They pair perfectly with the citrus of the moment, but you can easily substitute for other orange varieties, and still get that delicious sweet tang.

Serves 4 as starters, or 6-8 as canapés
jerusalem artichokes 250g, scrubbed and grated
carrot 1 medium, peeled and grated
brown onion 1 small, thinly sliced
cornmeal 30g
plain flour 70g
salt ½ tsp
white pepper ¼ tsp
allspice ¼ tsp
all-purpose seasoning ¼ tsp
garlic 2 cloves, peeled
eggs 2
sunflower oil for frying
seedless clementines 250g, peeled weight
ghee or unsalted butter 10g
lemon juice 1 tsp
