Three ways with courgettes

Every summer there seems to be a glut of courgettes. There are just as many recipes too!

Here are three simple ones to try

Courgette fritters

Courgette Fritters 

140gr plain flour

5 spring onions (or equivalent ordinary)

250 chopped Feta

3 eggs

A handful of chopped mint

750gr chopped courgettes pre-prepared and left to drain.

Mix dry ingredients with a pinch of salt and pepper and a teaspoon of Paprika.

Add beaten eggs

Then add courgettes. The mixture should seem dry at first but will moisten with courgette juice.

Fry in sunflower oil a few at a time. Use 1 dessertspoonful per fritter and flatten slightly in the pan.

Fry a few seconds each side then drain on kitchen paper before serving.
