Instructions

1. Put the flour in a large bowl, make a well in the middle, and crack in the egg. Whisk the egg, then gradually whisk in the club soda until you have a creamy batter.
2. Add the shallot, garlic, parsley and cumin to the batter, season with sea salt and black pepper, and mix well.
3. Drain and rinse the white beans, shake off excess water, and mash them lightly with a potato masher or large fork for just a few seconds so they are slightly broken up.
4. Add the mashed beans to the batter and mix until well combined.
5. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
6. After a couple of minutes, drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, spaced evenly in a single layer and cooking in batches. Fry for 3 minutes per side, or until golden.
7. Transfer the cooked fritters to a dish lined with paper towels.
8. For the aioli, put the mayonnaise in a bowl, finely grate in the garlic, and add the hot smoked paprika, lemon juice and olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper and whisk until creamy.
9. Transfer the aioli to a serving dish, arrange the fritters around it, and serve warm or at room temperature.
