Put 60 g of flour in a large bowl and make a well in the middle.
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 1 whole egg

Crack the egg into the well and whisk it until well mixed.
- 2 whole onions
- 2 cloves garlic
Finely chop the onions into the batter and grate in two cloves of garlic.

- 1¼ g sweet smoked Spanish paprika
- ½ g dried thyme
Add the parsley, smoked paprika, dried thyme, sea salt and black pepper and mix.
- sea salt
- black pepper
- 120 g cheese
Finely grate in the cheese and give it a final mix; add more liquid if the batter is too thick, more flour if too thin.
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat, no higher, or the fritters brown outside before the inside cooks.

Add 120 ml of extra virgin olive oil and heat until hot but not smoking.

For the alioli, whisk the mayonnaise with the grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, sea salt and black pepper to a creamy texture.
