It's a truly beautiful day today in London, sunny and warm pure enjoyment. After the winter and months of eating pasta, rice and potatoes my body kindly asked for something light::) So here you are courgette fritters especially for you my dear body!
Serves to 2 -3 as a light meal
Courgette fritters with herb yogurt
Serves to 2 -3 as a light meal
Ingredients
500g courgettes - small to medium washed and grated roughly
2 eggs
up to 100g of flour
chili flakes
salt and pepper
sunflower oil or other oil to fry
Herb yogurt
300g natural yogurt
2-3 tbsp of chopped dill
2 -3 tbsp of chopped chives
1 tbsp of lemon juice
salt
Let's do it:
Sprinkle a tea spoon of salt over the grated courgettes and leave them for up to 30 minutes. Squeeze the excess of water using a kitchen towel or with your hands over a sieve. Add eggs, flour, chili flakes and season well. The batter should be only slightly runny and hold well together.
In a frying pan heat 3 tbsp of sunflower or other oil, lay a table spoon of batter on the hot oil and fry on each side until golden - this may take up to 5 minutes on each side.
For the herb yogurt mix all ingredients and serve over the fritters.
