Courgette/Zucchini Fritters
These are great little fritters which make for a wonderful appetizer or as a finger food for a party. I did add more parmesan cheese than listed and I also had to up the flour amount apart from that I made as directed and they were delicious. I served ours with a basil pesto mayonnaise which went really well with these. To make the mayonnaise just mix some mayo with either homemade or store bought basil pesto, real simple.

Ingredients

2 Eggs
1 Garlic clove (I used 2)
1/2 Teaspoon salt
3 Cups courgettes, grated
1/4 Cup parmesan cheese, grated (I added about 1/2 cup)
1/2 Cup self-raising flour, approx (I needed more flour)
Oil

Method

1. Beat the eggs. Crush the garlic and add to the eggs with the salt. Mix again.

2. Add the firmly packed grated courgette and cheese then stir in enough self-raising flour to make a batter consistency.

3. Drop batter into hot oil to make small fritters. Turn over when golden brown.

Serve with yoghurt cucumber mint sauce or any relish, chutney or tomato sauce. I served ours with a basil pesto mayonnaise.
