Zucchini Fritters with Avocado Tzatziki

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

4 small zucchini, grated and squeezed of excess water
1 egg
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbs fresh mint, chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
100g haloumi, crumbled
olive oil to fry (1/2 cup approx)

Avocado Tzatziki

250g greek yoghurt (drained in sieve for at least 1 hour)

1 small garlic clove, minced
1 lemon juiced, squeezed
2 tbs chopped dill

Combine the zucchini, egg, flour, baking powder, herbs, spring onions and halloumi in a large bowl and combine well. Cover and set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Add the cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and dill to the strained yoghurt and stir through the avocado. Season to taste and set aside.

To cook the fritters, heat the olive oil in a non-stick frypan and spoon in tablespoons of fritter mixture and fry on a medium heat for a few minutes each side. Cook gently and patiently, so they get really crispy and avoid overcrowding the pan.

Serve and pretend you’re holidaying in the Greek Islands..
