Courgette Fritters

Inspired by a Waitrose recipe with a couple of tweaks to make them dairy free (if desired).

Makes 6 fritters

Ingredients

  • 2 small courgettes, grated
  • 4 salad onions (or small white onions)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 10g fresh herbs (parsley works well), roughly chopped
  • 250g non-dairy thick yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 25g grated cheese
  • 1/2 lemon, zest and juice
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 50g self-raising flour

Method

  1. Combine the courgettes, onions, salt and herbs in a large sieve, set aside for 15 minutes and then squeeze any excess water.
  2. Stir the yoghurt, lemon zest and juice, cheese, eggs and flour into the courgette mixture.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and add the mixture in large dollops. Cook gently on each side for a few minutes, until golden and set.
