Courgette and cheese fritters with spicy tomato salsa

veggie diva

This month we are doing a short, sharp and sweet, delicious recipe that you can rattle together in no time. Have fun and enjoy!

  Tomato salsa

1 x punnet cherry tomatoes cut in half

1 x red chilli

½ tsp white wine vinegar

  Combine all ingredients into a pot season with salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and falling out of their skins.

  Courgette and chees fritters

4 medium or 8 small courgettes, grated

2 x eggs beaten

A third of a cup grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan)

½ red onion finely chopped or grated

½ cup chickpea flour

Salt and pepper

Olive oil for frying

Coriander chopped for serving

  Combine all the ingredients. The mixture will be quite wet.

Heat a table spoon of olive oil and fry dollops of the mixture at a medium heat so they cook through. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side until golden brown.

  Serve warm with the salsa and a good sprinkle of chopped coriander. I have served my fritters with a grilled garlic black mushroom on top, and roasted broccoli stems on the side.

Beautiful, appetising and delicious!

He talked his way into staying anyway.

I have watched countless breeding herds of African elephant consisting of a senior cow, elder females and younger cows, all the way down to juveniles of both sexes – the young males are banished from their natal herd around their early teens – yet I’m ever fascinated by the quality of synchronised attention this matriarchal sisterhood constantly pay to one another.
