Ingredients

  • 500 g Courgette (Approx 3) grated
  • 165 g Tinned sweetcorn
  • 1 Clove Garlic crushed
  • 2 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 75 g Gluten free flour
  • 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • Salt and Pepper to season

Instructions

  • Grate the courgette with a box grater.
  • Lay a clean tea towel out on the kitchen side and place the grated courgette in the middle. 
  • Scoop up the sides of the tea towel to make a moneybag and wring out all of the water from the courgette over the sink. Keep going even when you think all the water is out.
    Be sure NOT to miss this step out as courgettes are made up of over 90% water and you will end up with very soggy fritters!
  • Once drained, put the grated courgettes in a mixing bowl, add the sweetcorn, crushed garlic, oregano, cumin, baking powder and flour. Add seasoning if required.
  • Mix together with a wooden spoon.
  • With your hands, shape the mixture into 8 equal sized balls (approx 2 tablespoon of mixture per ball)
  • Heat the oil on a medium heat in a frying pan.
  • When the pan is hot, place the balls in the frying pan and squash down into a flat circle shape with a spatula. (You may need to do them in 2 or 3 batches)
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown.
