Courgette and Feta Fritters

 

Serves 4

Preparation: 20 minutes

 

This recipe was inspired by Jamie Oliver and we made these last Summer and

they were just divine served with hot corn on the cob and a simple tomato

with fresh herbs and french dressing. 

 

Since, we have served these with a delicious stuffed aubergine recipe!

 

 

 

Ingredients
 

• 3 courgettes, grated

• 1 bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped

• 2 free range eggs

• 35 g plain flour (or use either Chickpea, Buckwheat, Almond or Chestnut flour instead)

• 20 g Parmesan cheese

• 1 pinch of dried oregano

• 100 g feta cheese

• Olive oil

 

 

 

 

Method

 

1. Coarsely grate the courgettes,
    

2. Pick and finely slice the mint leaves.   
    

3. Beat the egg, then mix with the courgette, flour, Parmesan, mint, oregano and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.   If the mixture seems too wet, you can always add a little extra flour.
    

4. Scrunch it all up really well with your hands, then crumble in the feta and mix again.
    

5. Heat a good drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry tablespoons of the mixture for a couple of minutes each side until golden – these fritters make a lovely lunch with a leafy salad.  Try serving with Creamy Minted Avocado Dip
    

6. Another idea is to serve these with Aubergines Layered with Crunchy Walnut Stuffing.
