Courgette fritters

Ingredients

• courgettes — 2 medium (about 500 g)
• hard cheese — 50 g
• flour — 1 heaped tbsp
• egg — 1
• salt — a pinch
• dill — 2 sprigs

Method

1. Grate the courgettes. Squeeze out the liquid thoroughly, through muslin or a sieve.
2. Add the grated cheese, egg and flour to the courgettes and mix. If the batter is too loose, add a little more flour.
3. Add the salt and chopped dill.
4. Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan. Spoon in the fritters and fry for 2–3 minutes on a medium heat. Cover with a lid once turned.

Tips

• A favourite serving: sour cream mixed with brined cheese, herbs and chopped garlic.
• Or, as in the photo, avocado, brined cheese and pesto — the combination looks like a fashionable brunch café.
