CHILLI ZUCCHINI FRITTERS - VIDEO

---

Zucchini are such versatile vegetables. You can fry them, steam them, stir-fry them, spiralize them into zoodles, even bake them into bread! In this particular recipe, zucchini are mixed with potatoes, red onion, chilli oil and seasoned generously, and fried.

Ingredients

1 large courgette

3 potatoes

1 red onion

1 medium egg

2-3 garlic cloves

1-2 tsp chilli oil ( i used vegetarian chilli oil)

40g plain flour pinch salt pinch black pepper

Directions

Step 1: Peel the potatoes and onion, top and tail the courgettes, then grate on the medium side of a grater. I use my food processor but you can do it by hand as well.

Step 2: Twist and squeeze over a bowl until no more liquid comes out.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the flour, chilli oil, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Don't worry if there are a few lumps. You can use a whisk to mix it well.

Step 4: Pour the egg mix onto the grated vegetables and mix well.

Step 5: Pour the oil into a frying pan until it's about ½ inch deep, then place over a high heat. Turn down to medium and use a large spoon to pick up the batter, flatten off on top and dolloping into the pan - it should start to sizzle immediately, but if you find they're browning almost immediately, turn the heat down some more.

Step 6: Fry for about 5 mins until browned underneath, then use a slotted spatula to flip them oven and fry for a couple more minutes until evenly browned on both sides.

Step 7: Drain on paper towels and repeat until all the batter is used up before serving. They're wonderful for lunch with a crunchy pepper salad or sour cream.

Love, Alla x
