Crispy Carrot Fritters with Herb Quark Dip

Peel and finely grate the carrots. Place in a bowl and add the finely chopped spring onion, one pressed garlic clove (reserve the second clove for the dip), the thyme leaves, eggs, and flour. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix everything into a compact, slightly sticky dough.

Heat a pan with enough oil. Once the oil is hot, form small fritters from the dough and place them in the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Then place on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.

For the dip, stir the quark smooth with the second pressed garlic clove and finely chopped parsley. Season with the remaining pinch of salt. Serve the warm carrot fritters together with the fresh quark dip.
