Delicate, golden-green courgette (zucchini) fritters it’s a great idea for a quick dinner or snack. Made with a handful of pantry staples in less than half an hour. They taste best when served straight from the frying pan. I warn you, they disappear in the blink of an eye.
The recipe I share with you is a basic version of courgette fritters without any extra ingredients. If you have courgettes, I beg you have the other four ingredients in your pantry too! Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best, and that’s the case. Each family member can choose their favourite toppings. Sweet or savoury? That’s the question. I like them with sour cream, others prefer them sprinkled with sugar. 🙂 Yeah, sugar! Sounds weird but tastes good.
How to prepare the perfect fritters?
The preparation is very simple!
- Grate the courgettes, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside for a few minutes. Using a kitchen cloth or nut milk bag remove the excess of liquid but don't squeeze too much. If you skip this step, you'll need to add more flour to get the right consistency.
- Młode cukinie, średniej wielkości możesz zetrzeć na tarce w całości. Jeśli są duże i przerośnięte polecam przeciąć je na pół i usunąć środek z pestkami. Jeśli skórka jest twarda to najlepiej ją obrać.
- Fry them using a small amount of oil over a medium heat, turning 2-3 times. When my fritters are ready I transfer them onto a paper towel for a short time (you can skip this step) and then serve them quickly. If you set them aside for too long they will soften.
Courgette fritters - what to serve with?
