One will never be enough! Light and delicate, these fritters are bursting with flavour from the feta, fresh courgettes and pesto. Eat them just as they are, or squeeze over some lemon juice as you eat them.

- 2 spring onions, chopped
- ½ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, mint)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 Tbsp Mediterranean Basil Pesto Chunky Dip
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 100g crumbled feta
- Lemon wedges
Makes: 30 fritters (approx.)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Method:
- In a large bowl mix courgettes, spring onions, fresh herbs, eggs, flour, Mediterranean Basil Pesto Chunky Dip, lemon zest and feta.
- Season to taste.
- Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan and cook small spoonfuls of the mixture for 2 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
- Serve with additional Mediterranean Basil Pesto Chunky Dip and lemon wedges.

Just what i needed as i can't keep up with the amount of courgettes my plants are producing. Thankyou for a yummy recipe.

Thank you for your recipe. I have a very similar recipe and this year with the amount of courgettes I decided to make batches of them and freeze them for winter. It became time consuming and messy so I decided to about 12 in one batch in the oven, and I was delighted with the result they even looked as if they came out of the fry pan. I will be doing them this way in future. No oil or ghee was used only baking paper.
