Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Wash the vegetables and let them drain the water away.
  2. Grate the courgettes and place into a colander with salt for half an hour.
  3. Squeeze to remove any remaining fluid.
  4. Place in a bowl with a slice of bread to absorb any excess fluid. Through bread away before mixing all ingredients.
  5. Now break the egg into the bowl and add cheese of your preference, chopped herbs and salt and pepper. Easy on the salt, as all cheese mentioned above are quite salty and don’t forget that we added salt to the grated courgettes.
  6. Continue to massage the mixture between fingers after adding flour until you have a smooth, but not runny, consistency.
  7. After this, the mixture is helped by being allowed to stand in the fridge for, at least, an hour, before frying in olive oil.
  8. Scoop out patties with a spoon, and make flattened patties on a floured surface.
  9. Fry in hot olive oil. The level of olive oil in the frying pan should cover half the pattie. (Turn the patties once, browning both sides. Finish by placing them on absorbent paper for a minute.
  10. Serve with Greek ouzo! “Stin ygeia sas” … we usually say “to your health” when we make a toast.
