Ingredients

• 2 courgettes (about 400 g), coarsely grated
• 1 egg
• 60 g plain flour
• 60 g feta, crumbled
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• A small handful of mint, chopped (optional)
• Greek yogurt, to serve (optional)
• 3 tbsp olive oil, for frying
• ½ tsp salt
• Black pepper

How to make Courgette Fritters

1. Toss the grated courgette with the salt in a sieve and leave to drain.
2. Squeeze the courgette hard in a clean tea towel to remove as much water as possible.
3. Mix with the egg, flour, feta, spring onions, mint if using and plenty of pepper.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry heaped spoonfuls, flattened slightly, until golden on both sides.
5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve warm with Greek yogurt if you like.
