Method

  1. Place the grated courgette in a sieve and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. Combine with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Heat a heavy based frying-pan over a moderate heat.
  3. Add the oil and drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan about 5cm diameter. Cook until golden around the edges. Flip over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Remove onto a plate (keeping warm in the oven if necessary) and repeat until all the mixture is cooked adding a little oil to the pan between batches.

Handy Tips

Serve with yoghurt sauce - combine 1 cup natural yoghurt with 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 garlic clove, chopped. Season to taste.
