Courgette Fritters

An easy and tasty snack or starter.  We cooked these in our pizza oven on a griddle pan but of course they could be cooked on the hob too.   We added a whole chili for a medium heat but leave this out if you prefer!

Makes: 6 fritters
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Method: Pizza Oven or Hob
Heat scale: 🌶️🌶️

Ingredients
1 medium courgette, grated
1 small onion, grated
1 chili, chopped
1 tsp Tandoori Masala Spice Blend
60g mozzarella cheese
60g plain flour
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper
Fresh coriander, chopped
Oil, for the pan

 

Method

  1. Grate the courgette and onion and squeeze out any excess moisture
  2. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and combine well
  3. Oil the griddle pan and pre-heat in the pizza oven or on the hob.  (We aimed for 500° in the pizza oven but we were well short of that).
  4. Spoon around 1 tbsp of the mixture per fritter onto the pan and flatten
  5. If your pizza oven is very hot, cook for around 2 minutes each side.  Ours took much longer!

Serve with tzatziki for a delicious snack or starter

Recipe notes:
Don't try and turn the fritters until too soon otherwise they will fall apart!
