These fritters are tasty, almost guilt free and will have your family munching their veggies without complaint! They are a great side dish or snack item and the recipe can be adjusted easily to feed smaller or larger groups.
Ingredients:
- about 300g of Zucchini (baby marrow)
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 Tbl flour
- 1 egg
- half a cup of either grated cheedar cheese or crumbled feta cheese
- half a tsp minced garlic
- 1-2 Tbl finely chopped onion
- herbs (I use oregano and thyme)
Directions:
- Grate the zucchini into a bowl. Empty the grated zucchini into a colander and place it over the sink. Sprinkle with salt and leave for 15-30 minutes. The salt will draw some of the moisture out of the zucchini.
- Take handfuls of the zucchini and squeeze to drain out the moisture before placing it in the bowl. (this is a great activity to get your kids to help with because it develops the muscles in their hands!)
- Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and mix together. Add enough flour so that the mixture sticks together.
- Heat a pan on medium heat and add in a tablespoon of oil.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten out slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Drain off excess oil on some paper towels and serve!

These fritters taste so good that it's the only baby marrow dish my husband will eat!
Keep it cooking,
