Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini courgette
- 1 yellow onion
- ⅔ cup corn
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped herbs I used dill and parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅓ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash and shred/grate the unpeeled zucchini. Place the shredded zucchini onto a clean tea towel and lightly squeeze it over the sink to get rid of any excess moisture. Place the zucchini into a large bowl.
- Either shred the peeled onion or chop it very finely in a mini food processor, then add it to the bowl.
- Add the corn, flour, lightly beaten egg, herbs, spices, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix it all together thoroughly.
- Heat the oil in a skillet/frying pan over a medium heat. Spoon the mixture into the pan and spread it into rounds. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then flip them over gently and fry for a further 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until golden and cooked through.
- Place the cooked zucchini and corn fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
