Ingredients
- 500 g zucchini, grated coarsely
- ½ cup (60 g) frozen baby peas
- 130 g can corn kernels, drained
- 4 green onions (green shallots), chopped
- ¾ cup (120 g) wholemeal self-raising flour
- ½ cup (40 g) coarsely grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (60 g) coarsely grated cheddar cheese
- 1 egg, beaten lightly
- ½ cup (125ml) milk
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Steps
01.
Tightly squeeze small handfuls of grated zucchini to remove excess moisture. Place in a large bowl.
02.
Microwave peas in a microwave-safe dish on high (100 per cent power) for about 1 min or until hot; drain.
03.
Combine vegetables, flour and cheeses in bowl. Add egg and milk, stir until combined. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
04.
Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan on medium-high. Drop 2 tbsps of mixture in pan; flatten slightly and shape roughly into a round. Repeat with another 4 rounds, about 5 cm apart. Cook for about 2 mins or until browned underneath. Turn fritters; cook for a further 2 mins or until cooked through.
05.
Drain on absorbent paper. Repeat with remaining oil and mixture.
