How to Make Courgette Fritters

  1. Grate the courgettes and finely chop the onion. Place in a bowl and gently squeeze out excess moisture using a clean tea towel or paper towels.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the grated courgette and onion to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to combine.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the batter onto the hot pan for each fritter, flattening slightly to form patties.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite tzatziki or a cool yogurt dip.
