Ingredients:

2 medium courgettes
100g Feta cheese, crumbled
1 handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 handful of dill leaves, chopped
3 spring onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, mashed
35g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg, beaten
salt, freshly-ground black pepper and ground cumin, to taste
oil, for frying

Method:

Peel the courgettes and grate them. Sprinkle with salt then set aside for 20 minutes. After this time, squeeze out as much liquid from the courgettes as you can.

Mash the cheese with the drained courgettes then work in the spring onions, parsley and dill. Add the mashed garlic cloves then sprinkle over the flour and baking powder. Work in the beaten egg and season to taste with salt, black pepper and cumin.

Shape the mixture into patties. Heat oil in a frying pan, add the courgette patties and fry until golden brown and cooked through. These can be served either hot or cold and accompanied by vegetables. They also make an excellent breakfast snack.
