Courgette fritter recipe

 

Summer on a plate

These courgette (zucchini) fritter/pancakes are extremely easy to make. The hardest bit being the grating! Grated courgettes, fresh herbs, spring onions and feta with some eggs and flour make this a quick and simple dish. Perfect for a snack, light lunch or as a tapas style meal. I cooked mine on our grill (review here) however, if you like them crispy, cook them in flying pan with some oil. Courgette fritter recipe
