This is an easy vegetarian recipe, especially for summer BBQs. Zucchini - or courgette - fritters are delicious and healthy, plus you can make them gluten-free by swapping out with spelt flour. We love the addition of the feta.
Ingredients
- 4 zucchini (courgettes)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tsp cumin seeds roasted
- salt and pepper
- ½ cup flour
- 100 g feta cheese chopped
- 1 tbsp rice bran oil
- aioli or mayo to serve
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini. Place in a colander and sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- Finely chop half an onion and sauté with two crushed cloves of garlic.
- Place grated zucchini on paper towels and pat dry to remove excess moisture. Pat dry again. Removing the moisture is key.
- Add the courgette to the onion/garlic with one teaspoon of cumin seeds, salt and pepper and half a cup of of your preferred flour and diced feta cheese.
- Heat a medium sized pan, add rice bran oil, dollop in mixture and fry your fritters on both side till golden and crispy.
- Serve with your favourite salad and a grunty aioli or herbed mayo.
