Ingredients
- 2 medium courgettes, coarsely shredded
- 1/4 cup Perfect Italiano Ricotta Cheese
- 1/4 cup Anchor Greek Yoghurt
- 2 tbsp Mainland Creamy Feta, crumbled
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 very thinly sliced large red onion
- 1/4 cups fresh dill, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest, salt and freshly ground pepper
- for frying Olive or vegetable oil
- 3/4 Lemon wedges All-purpose flour
- Anchor Greek Yoghurt
- Barker’s Professional Green Tomato & Jalapeno Chutney
Method
- In a strainer, toss the shredded courgettes with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Then thoroughly squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
- In a large bowl, combine the courgettes, ricotta, yoghurt, feta, garlic, onions, dill, eggs, lemon zest, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Stir well, then stir in flour until just incorporated. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels.
- In a large skillet, heat oil until shimmering. Working in batches, add 2 tbsp mounds of courgette batter to the hot oil, spreading them to form 3-inch fritters.
- Fry over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain the fritters on the paper towels and serve right away with lemon wedges, Anchor Greek Yoghurt and Barker’s Professional Green Tomato & Jalapeno Chutney.
