Spicy Courgette Fritters with Smoked Salmon Recipes

Ingredients :

500g courgettes, grated

1 egg, beaten

2 tbsp plain flour

1 chili, deseeded and chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

75g cheddar cheese, grated

sea salt and pepper

dill sprigs, to garnish

To serve:

250g smoked salmon, thinly sliced

125g cream cheese

1. Heat a griddle pan or nonstick frying pan. Squeeze the excess moisture out of the grated courgettes - the best way to do this is to place all the courgettes in a clean tea towel and squeeze well.

2. Mix together the egg and flour until smooth, add all the other ingredients, mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. Spoon mounds of the mixture on to the griddle, flatten with a palette knife and cook the fritters for 4-5 minutes.

4. Then turn and cook for a further 4-5 minutes.

5. Do not disturb them while they are cooking as a crust needs to form on the cooking side, otherwise they will be difficult to turn.

6. Keep the cooked fritters warm and repeat until all the mixture has been used.

7. Serve the fritters between layers of smoked salmon and cream cheese, garnished with sprigs of dill.
