White pudding fritters with spiced Bramley apple ketchup

To make the ketchup, fry the shallot in a little olive oil until just beginning to soften

Once softened, add the chopped apple and cook for a further 2 minutes

Add the rest of the spiced apple ketchup ingredients, and gently simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the apples have softened and broken down and the ketchup has reduced. Season with salt to taste

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blitz until completely smooth

Set aside to cool then chill in the fridge

To make the batter for the fritters, add the plain flour, a pinch of salt and baking powder to a bowl, then whisk in the sparkling water until the batter is smooth

Pour the vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-based saucepan or deep-fat fryer and heat to 180C

Cut the white pudding into 1cm thick slices

Coat the white pudding slices in the batter. Drain the excess batter from each fritter using a slotted spoon or fork, and carefully place in the fryer

Deep fry the fritters in small batches until crispy and golden, about 4 minutes. Remove the fritters from the pan and place onto kitchen towel to drain

Repeat until all the white pudding has been fried

Season the hot fritters with sea salt, and serve with the ketchup and rocket on the side
