Courgette and oregano pancakes recipe with feta and honey
Crispy fried courgette fritters
Servings: 16
Calories: 39kcal
Equipment
- Bowl
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 2 large courgettes
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 small packet (about 15g) of oregano leaves finely chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp (heaped) pul biber chilli flakes plus extra to serve
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Maldon sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
To serve:
- 100 g vegetarian feta cheese crumbled
- Clear honey
Method
- Coarsely grate the courgettes into a bowl. Tip them into a clean tea towel, gather up the sides and squeeze out the liquid from the courgettes.
- Place in a mixing bowl, add the eggs, flour, baking powder, oregano, cumin and pul biber, season generously with salt and pepper and beat together.
- Place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and drizzle in some vegetable oil. Using a tablespoon measure, roughly fill the scoop with the courgette mixture and without overcrowding add dollops to the pan, then gently flatten. Fry for about one minute until the undersides are nicely browned, then flip over and cook until the other sides have browned. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Serve the pancakes immediately topped with the crumbled feta, a little drizzle of honey and a sprinkling of pul biber.
