Ingredients

  • Zucchini500 g
  • Tinned sweetcorn300 g
  • Free range eggs4 ea
  • Plain flour150 g
  • Grated cheese80 g
  • Spring onions50 g
  • Vegetable oil40 ml

Method

  1. Coarsely grate the zucchini, toss it with a teaspoon of salt, and leave it for 10 minutes.
  2. Squeeze the zucchini hard in a clean cloth — getting it dry is the whole trick.
  3. Mix the zucchini with the drained corn, beaten eggs, flour, cheese and sliced spring onion.
  4. Season the batter well; it should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon.
  5. Fry heaped spoonfuls in the oil over medium heat for 3 minutes a side until golden and set through.
  6. Drain on paper and serve warm, or cool them completely before packing.
