Servings: 8 Fritters
- 750 g Courgettes Grated
- 100 g Feta cheese Crumbled into big chunks
- 2 Eggs Medium free range
- 2 Cloves garlic Peeled and crushed
- 15 g Fresh dill Chopped
- 15 g Fresh mint Chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 75 g Plain flour
- 200 g Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 Red onion Peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
To serve:
- Greek yoghurt For dipping
Preheat the oven to 220C.
Grate your courgettes and squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can over a colander. Use the colander and your hands - there will be lots! (See tips below.)
When you've squeezed out the liquid, put all of your Courgette Fritter ingredients into a large bowl and mix well with clean hands.
Shape the mixture into 8 patties and put onto a greased (or sprayed using Fry Light) baking sheet.
Bake for about 30 minutes of until browned, firm and cooked through.
To fry the Courgette Fritters:
Make 16 smaller patties instead of 8.
Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a non-stick pan over a medium low heat, cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add more oil if needed between batches - don’t over crowd the pan.
Keep the cooked batches warm in the oven while you finish off the others.
Coarsely grate: For best results, make sure you coarsely grate your courgettes rather than finely chopped.
Drying the courgettes: I use a clean tea towel for this job (which is a bit annoying as we then have a mucky tea towel BUT does get the most liquid out.) You could also use bare clean hands or a sieve.
