Ingredients (2 servings)

• 1 large zucchini
• 3 eggs
• 100g cottage cheese
• 2 tbsp gluten-free flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 garlic clove
• ½ onion
• Fresh parsley
• 1tsp Lemon zest
• ¼ tsp salt
• Olive oil, for cooking
• Lemon juice and greek yoghurt, to serve

Method

1. Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. Set aside.
2. Finely chop the garlic clove, onion, and fresh parsley. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
4. Cook the fritters: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the fritter mixture into the pan, flattening each one slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
5. Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate. Serve with yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
