Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 courgette
- 1 carrot
- 200-225 g block halloumi cheese
- 70 g self-raising flour
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 1 egg
- oil for frying the fritters
Instructions
- Start preparing the fritters by grating the courgette and adding the grated courgette to a bowl along with a generous pinch of salt. Allow it to sit while you prep the remaining ingredients.
- Grate the carrot and add to a large mixing bowl. Now grate the block of halloumi and add that to the bowl.
- Place the courgette in a clean tea towel and squeeze as much liquid out of it as possible. Add the courgette to the mixing bowl, along with the self-raising flour, cornflour and the egg. Season generously with black pepper and add any additional herbs or seasonings of your choice.
- Mix really well until everything is combined fully. Heat a frying pan on a medium heat. Add a liberal amount of olive oil and allow that a few moments to heat up.
- Spoon amounts of the fritter mix into the pan, using a spoon shape into a round patty shape, flattening the top ever slightly. This mix will make 8 fritters. Fry each fritter for a few minutes on each side, flipping over and cooking until each side is golden and crisp. Keep warm in the oven before serving.
- Serve the fritters with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and herbs to garnish.
