In summer we don't like to cook as much, but we enjoy fruit and vegetables all the more. If you're looking for a fun and tasty idea to use courgette in a different way, then these fritters are just the ticket. They're actually more like savoury pancakes with a vegetable filling, which are great on their own. But they can also be enhanced with a variety of sauces. Simply add a mixed salad for a complete vegetarian lunch. I've served mine with a tzatziki sauce, which is a real winner with lots of dishes.

How it's done

To prepare the courgette

Place the courgette in a bowl, add the salt, mix. Leave to absorb for approx. 45 mins. Place the courgette on a clean cheesecloth and squeeze out the resulting juice. Return the courgette to the bowl.

To prepare the cucumber

Place the cucumber in a bowl, add the salt, mix. Leave to absorb for approx. 30 mins. Place the cucumber on a clean cheesecloth and squeeze out the resulting juice. Return the cucumber to the bowl.

Tzatziki

Add the yoghurt, vinegar, oil, garlic and dill to the cucumber, mix, season.

Batter

Add the feta, eggs, spring onions, mint and parsley to the courgette, mix well. Combine the flour and yeast, add, mix in, season the batter.

Fritters

Heat a dash of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Pour as much batter into the pan as it takes to make fritters of approx. 7 cm in diameter. Reduce the heat. Cook for approx. 2 mins. until the underside separates from the pan, turn the fritters, cook for a further 2 mins., cover and keep warm, repeat these steps with the remainder of the batter. Serve the fritters with the tzatziki.
