Ingredients

150g grated Courgette
50g green peas
100g feta cheese, crumbled
2 Tbsp chickpea flour (or rice flour)
1 large egg, separated
1 Tbsp of chopped fresh herbs of your choice (oregano, basil or coriander)
Oil for cooking

Instructions

Mix the vegetables with the flour, egg yolk, green herbs and most of the feta cheese, gently mashing them together with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
Whisk the egg white into a light foam, then gently fold into the vegetable mixture.
Pour oil into a pan (oils should be about 1 cm deep) or use a deep-fryer and heat. When the oil is hot, add dollops of the batter and press them down slightly with the back of the spoon.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on both sides until golden, then transfer them to a plate lined with paper kitchen towel.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with a side salad, or at room temperature as nibbles.
