Instructions
Step 1
Fit the Coarse Grating Disc to the Food Processor attachment.
Prepare the courgettes for the attachment.
Working in batches, grate courgettes into the attachment on speed 1.
Transfer the grated courgettes into a colander.
Add 1 tsp fine sea salt and mix until well combined.
Let drain for 2 hours.
Add the courgette to a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Step 2
Fit the K-Beater.
Add the drained courgette into the appliance bowl.
Add feta, parsley, dill, oregano and eggs.
Mix for 30 seconds on speed Min, until just combined.
Add flour, baking powder, 0.5 tsp fine sea salt and pepper.
Mix until combined for 30 seconds on speed Min.
Tip: If the mixture isn’t firm enough to hold its shape, add a little more flour until the right consistency is achieved.
Step 3
Line a plate with paper towels.
Add olive oil into a frying pan, enough to cover the base.
Heat on a medium heat until hot.
Dip a dessert spoon in water and add spoonfuls of the courgette mixture into the pan, spacing them apart.
Fry on both sides for 2 minutes on a medium heat, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fritters to the plate.
Repeat the same process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil into the frying pan, if needed.
Serve.
