Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 zucchinis (topped and tailed, approx. 300-330g)
  • 150g frozen peas
  • 100g feta cheese
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 50ml milk (semi-skimmed or any choice)
  • 100g gluten-free self-raising flour
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 4 tsp plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp dried mint
  • A pinch of chili flakes
  • ½ lemon (for squeezing)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Zucchini

  • Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  • After resting, use a clean kitchen towel or hands to squeeze out excess water.

2. Cook the Peas

  • Boil a small pot of water and add the frozen peas.
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes, drain, and let cool.

3. Mix the Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine grated zucchini, cooked peas, and crumbled feta cheese.
  • Add the eggs, milk, and black pepper, mixing well.
  • Gradually add the gluten-free self-raising flour, stirring until the batter is thick.

4. Cook the Fritters

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat with a little oil.
  • Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan and flatten slightly.
  • Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

5. Prepare the Toppings

  • Mix plain yogurt with dried mint and a pinch of chili flakes.
  • Serve fritters with a dollop of yogurt and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

  • Make It Dairy-Free: Swap feta cheese for vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
  • Make It Spicier: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the batter.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
