The feta and mint push this dish straight into rosé territory — or a light white with citrus notes. Perfect for a summer evening where dinner starts outdoors.
Ingredients
- 4 medium courgettes (about 600g), coarsely grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 150g feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Small bunch of mint, chopped
- Small bunch of dill, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp plain flour
- Black pepper
- Olive oil for frying
- Thick yoghurt and lemon wedges to serve
Method
- 11. Place the grated courgette in a sieve, salt, and leave 10 minutes. Squeeze out all moisture through a clean tea towel — be thorough, this is the step that decides whether they're crisp.
- 22. Mix the squeezed courgette with feta, spring onions, mint, dill, eggs, flour, and pepper.
- 33. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Drop large tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.
- 44. Cook 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Cook in batches without crowding.
- 55. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and lemon wedges.
