Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 3 (about 400g) medium zucchini
• 75g (1/2 cup) self-raising flour
• 40g (1/2 cup) parmesan, finely grated
• 3 shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1/4 cup fresh continental parsley, chopped
• 2 tsp dried oregano leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 4 tsp olive oil

Method

1. Trim the ends from zucchini. Coarsely grate the zucchini. Place in a colander and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in self-raising flour, parmesan, shallots, egg, parsley, oregano, salt and nutmeg.
2. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop four 2-tablespoonful measures of zucchini mixture into pan. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with 2 tsp olive oil and remaining zucchini mixture.
