Courgette and spring onion fritters
Crispy pan-fried courgette and spring onion fritters are a bit like savoury pancakes. They make an easy side dish or summer starter. Serve with a dollop of soured cream and some chopped chives.
Ingredients
Serves: 5
- 225g grated courgettes
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
- 60g plain flour
- 20g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch dried oregano
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

- Blot grated courgette with kitchen paper to remove moisture. Stir courgette, eggs and spring onion in a large bowl. Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt and oregano in a separate bowl; stir mixture into courgette until batter is just moistened.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the batter into hot oil; pan fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain pancakes on kitchen paper.
Parmesan cheese
Parmesan cheese is not truly vegetarian, as it contains animal rennet. To make this dish 100% vegetarian, omit the cheese or find a suitable vegetarian substitute made without animal rennet. In supermarkets look for the 'parmesan style hard cheeses' which are suitable for vegetarians.

Added some chopped mushroom to the mix. Really tasty 😋 - 10 Aug 2017
Soo good! I added a pinch of pepper and used a grated sweet onion, then put on the grill like a regular pancake. It only made 6 regular size pancakes so it left us wishing we had more! - 10 Jul 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
DELICIOUS! I squeezed my zucchini dry instead of using the paper towels and added some garlic powder and black pepper to the mix. Also, I ised vidalia onion instead of green b/c that's what I had on hand. These came out great! Will def be making these again! Thanks for sharing. - 25 Jul 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
