Claudia Roden's Courgette Fritters image

From her book 'Arabesque'. Fried onions, feta cheese and herbs lift what is otherwise a bland vegetable. These little fritters can be served hot or cold. They can be made in advance and reheated.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, chopped coarsely
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
500 g courgettes, chopped finely
3 eggs
3 tablespoons plain flour
2 sprigs of fresh mint, chopped
2 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
200 g feta cheese, mashed with a fork
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Fry the onion in 3 tablespoons of oil over a medium heat until it is soft and lightly coloured. Add the courgettes, and sauté, stirring, until they too are soft.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs with the flour until well blended. Add black pepper (there is no need for salt because the feta cheese is very salty) and the herbs, and mix well. Fold the mashed feta into the eggs, together with the cooked onions and courgettes.
  • Film the bottom of a preferably non-stick frying pan with oil and pour in the mixture by the half-ladle (or 2 tablespoons) to make a few fritters at a time. Turn each over once, and cook until both sides are browned a little. Drain on kitchen paper.
