Pile of fritters<\/p><\/div>\n

“I’m doing some fritters”, I say to the children, “Who wants some?”<\/p>\n

“Me!” says DS, our resident food dumpster.<\/p>\n

“Are they apple?” asks DD, guardedly.<\/p>\n

“No. Courgette” I reply.<\/p>\n

“Er, no, then”, DS back-pedals rapidly, announcing, “Courgettes are evil!”<\/p>\n

I have a glut of courgettes from the garden at the moment and I am struggling to keep up with eating them, so I make the fritters anyway, (after a quick trip to the supermarket to stock up on a few essentials that have run out while we have been on our travels to various events).<\/p>\n

I am fond of vegetable fritters of the latke variety, as you may know from the recipe<\/a> in a\u00a0previous post. They are quick and easy to make, more-ish and very satisfying. OK, so they probably aren’t the healthiest option since they are fried, but I don’t care. I make my fritters up by grating 2 medium courgettes and 1 small sweet potato, chopping and crushing 2 cloves of garlic and finely chopping 1 small green chilli. I also add in some finely shredded white cabbage, crumble in some Feta that needs using up and, obviously, mixing it all up with 2 eggs, some plain flour and seasoning and a little milk to make them more batter-y.<\/p>\n

DS wanders into the kitchen just as I am about to decant the first batch onto kitchen paper to drain and asks, “Can I try some?”<\/p>\n

“Sure, but I haven’t tasted them yet, so we can share the first one.” I want to taste it first as the Feta was rather ripe…it tastes fine.<\/p>\n

“Mmmm, these are nice”, DS agrees. “Spicy”, he adds thoughtfully. They aren’t really, unless you happen to get a bit of the chilli on the end of your tongue.<\/p>\n

“Is that a problem?” I ask.<\/p>\n

“No”, he says, “Can I have another one?” I put a few more on the draining plate and indicate for him to help himself. DD ambles over and has a taste too.”They’re OK”, she announces before wandering off again. D(“Courgettes are evil”)S, on the other hand asks, “How many can I have?”<\/p>\n

“Well, lets leave a couple for Daddy”, I say, as I finish scoffing my fourth.<\/p>\n

“OK”, he agrees and we both regretfully tear ourselves away from the plate. A hit, I think \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
