“Make these easy fritters in advance to pack for picnics or a lunchbox, or serve them hot from the frying pan. ”
Ingredients
- 3 courgettes
- 1 lemon
- 1 fresh red chilli
- 1 bunch of fresh mint
- 1 free-range egg
- 25 g plain flour
- 20 g Parmesan cheese
- 1 pinch of dried oregano
- 100 g feta cheese
- olive oil
- sweet chilli sauce , optional
Method
- Coarsely grate the courgettes, finely grate the lemon zest and Parmesan, then deseed and finely chop the chilli. Pick and finely slice the mint leaves.
- Beat the egg, then mix with the courgette, flour, lemon zest, Parmesan, chilli, mint, oregano and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Scrunch it all up really well with your hands, then crumble in the feta and mix again.
- 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, some sweet chilli sauce and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
