Ingredients
4 medium courgettes
2 handfuls of mint, finely chopped
1 pack of feta roughly crumbled
1/2 tsp chipolte chilli flakes
1 tbsp plain flour
2 medium eggs
1 tsp oregano
sweet chilli sauce to serve
Method
STEP 1
Wash and grate the courgettes and place them into a bowl with 2 small handfuls of sea salt. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to salt for 30 mins.
STEP 2
Meanwhile crumble the feta into a bowl with the chilli, mint and oregano and a little salt and pepper.
STEP 3
After 30 mins, place the courgette into the tea towel and squeeze over a sink to drain the water. Try squeeze out as much as you can as this will stop the fritters going too soggy.
STEP 4
Add the courgette to the feta mixture, check the seasoning, then add the flour and egg and mix.
STEP 5
Heat a frying pan with a little oil on a medium heat. Shape the fritters into balls and flatten them with your palm.
STEP 6
Fry the fritters in batches, about 7-10 mins each side, allowing each side to be golden brown and crisp before turning.
STEP 7
Serve straight away with the sweet chilli sauce on the side.
