Method
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis
- 1 clove garlic
- 3 talespoons greek yoghurt
- 3 tablespoons rice flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves chopped
- 100g goats cheese feta
- Creme fraiche (optional for garnish)
Method
- Grate the zucchinis, sprinkle liberally with salt and set aside in a colander for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl combine the yoghurt, rice flour, eggs, finely chopped garlic, 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves, and once combined break up the feta with your fingers and stir into mix.
- When ready to fry the fritters, wring the grated Zucchini out with your hands over the sink, you need to remove the excess water - you will be surprised by the amount of water that will come out. Mix into the fritter mix.
- Fry off in batches on a medium heat in a little butter and oil until golden. Make sure the pan is hot before you put them in or they will stick to the pan! If making canapes a teaspoon is a good measure. If making for a light lunch make them a little bigger and serve with a side salad.
- Top with a little dollop of creme fraiche and a little mint leaf.
Enjoy!
