Courgette Feta Fritters Recipe
These crispy courgette feta fritters are so flavorful yet mild, but certainly perfect if you want to make a light lunch, vegetarian appetizer, or side dish. They're so easy to make and you can eat them hot or cold with my best yogurt garlic tahini dip!
Equipment
- 1 grater
- 1 large bowl
- 1 frying pan
Ingredients
- 2-3 medium courgettes
- 100 g feta cheese
- 3-4 spring onions (scallions)
- 2 handfuls finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 medium egg
- 30-35 g plain flour (all-purpose)
- Oil for frying rapeseed oil or any vegetable oil
Instructions
Prep the courgettes:
- Grate the courgettes on a coarse grater. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix it in thoroughly. Use your hands to squeeze out the excess moisture either pushing the grated veg through a nut milk sieve (fine nylon sieve).
- Or you can transfer the courgettes to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. You can even use a strong kitchen paper towel.
Make the fritters mixture
- In a bowl, combine the squeezed courgette, crumbled feta cheese, chopped spring onions, chopped herbs, egg, and plain flour. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated, but don’t over mix.
- You can add another pinch of salt, but feta should be salty enough already.
Form the fritters and fry them
- Heat enough oil (about 1/4 inch deep) in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, scoop out tablespoons of the mixture and gently flatten them with the back of a spoon into small patties.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Fry the fritters in 2 batches of 5, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Drain and serve
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot or warm with a yogurt dip.
