Ingredients

150 g Courgette, coarsely grated
40 g Self-raising flour
1 Medium egg, beaten
40 g Soft goat's cheese, crumbled
2 Tbsp. Freshly chopped mint
2 Spring onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. Olive oil

For the Tzatziki

1/2 Lemon
60 g Greek yogurt, we used Fage Total 5% fat
1/4 Cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
1 Small garlic clove, crushed
1 Tbsp. Freshly chopped mint

Directions

1. Step 1Coarsely grate the courgettes, place in a sieve set over a bowl and sprinkle with a couple of large pinches of salt . Leave to sit for 20min to help remove some of the courgette moisture. Meanwhile, finely grate 1tsp zest from the 1/2 lemon, then squeeze the juice (keep separate). Stir together the tzatziki ingredients with the lemon juice and check seasoning.
2. Step 2Place the courgette on a clean tea towel, wrap and squeeze out any excess liquid. In a medium bowl, mix flour and egg, then stir through squeezed courgette, the goat’s cheese, mint, spring onion, lemon zest and some freshly ground black pepper.
3. Step 3Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add 3 large spoonfuls of the mixture to the pan, spreading each out a little with the back of the spoon. Cook for 3-4min per side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with the tzatziki.
