Ingredients

1 egg, beaten
pinch black pepper
15g Parmesan cheese, very finely grated
50g wholemeal flour
half tsp baking powder
2 courgettes, grated
4 spring onions, finely sliced (reserving 1 tbsp to serve)
2 tsp rapeseed oil
For the salsa:
10 leaves fresh mint, finely chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
half red onion, finely chopped
half tsp cumin seeds
good pinch black pepper
Juice 1 fresh lime

Method

Step 1

Place the beaten egg, pepper, Parmesan cheese, flour and baking powder in a bowl, and mix well.

Step 2

Mix in the courgette and spring onion (reserving 1 tbsp to serve).

Step 3

Add the oil to a large non-stick pan, place 1 tbsp of the mixture in the pan and flatten slightly to create a fritter about ¾–1cm thick, repeating in batches until all the mixture is used. (Depending on the size of your pan, you should be able to cook 3–4 fritters at a time.) As the fritters are ready, place on a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Cook the fritters for 2–3 minutes, until lightly browned, then flip over and cook the other side (again for 2–3 minutes).

Step 5

Meanwhile, add all the salsa ingredients to a bowl. Mix together well and set aside.

Step 6

When all the fritters are ready, sprinkle with the remaining spring onion and serve with the salsa. (You can serve the fritters either warm or cold.)

Recipe tips

For a vegetarian alternative to Parmesan, swap it out with vegetarian-style hard cheese.
