Broccoli Parmesan Fritters

I made these a while ago, just had the ingredients and the motivation at the same time.  They were good and definitely worth making again, although I liked them more than anyone else in the house.  They were on the slightly greasy side for my tastes, and I may try to figure out a way to bake them or use less oil or something, but they were really delicious and hey, its broccoli so it must be healthy, right? :-)

Broccoli Parmesan Fritters
3 C. broccoli, chopped (steamed, frozen or fresh)
1 egg
1/2 C. flour
1/3 C. parmesan, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 t. salt, plus more to taste
pepper, to taste
olive or vegetable oil for frying.

Combine all the ingredients, mash the broccoli and all the ingredients together.  Add 2-3 T. of oil and heat it up (you know its ready when a drop of water sizzles!) and then scoop a mound of the mixture in to the pan.  Press it down slightly with a spoon, let it go for 3-4 minutes, and then flip and go for another 2-3 minutes.  Both side should be slightly golden.  Set on a plate with a paper towel to drain excess oil and either eat immediately or put in a 200 oven to keep warm.  Yum!
