Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Place the grated courgettes in a colander, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and leave for to draw out moisture. Squeeze the courgettes firmly in a clean tea towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained courgettes, crumbled feta, chopped spring onions, dill, flour, beaten eggs and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- 3
In a small bowl, mix together the natural yoghurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make the dip. Set aside in the fridge.
- 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Drop heaped tablespoons of the courgette mixture into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- 5
Fry for 3– on each side until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
- 6
Serve the fritters warm with the garlic yoghurt dip on the side, and a simple green salad if desired.
