When it comes to fritters, there’s no doubt about it – these delights will win everyone over!

Today get ready to fry, because couscous fritters with courgettes, served hot freshly made, are a delight for all the senses!

The recipe is by our Fernanda Nicotra, foodblogger at Giallo Zafferano.

Ingredients

  • 300g of courgettes;
  • 100g of couscous;
  • 2 eggs;
  • Salt to taste
  • Olive oil to taste;
  • 60g parmesan or grana cheese;
  • 2 eggs;
  • Sunflower oil

Procedure

Grate the courgettes with a wide-hole grater and collect everything in a bowl.

Add a little salt and squeeze with your hands to remove some of the vegetable water.

Add the couscous, a little oil and mix.

Cover the bowl and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes.

Wait a few minutes and then drain the cous cous (if necessary, add a little more boiling water), add the grated cheese, two eggs and mix.

Let it rest for two minutes and start frying the fritters, turning them only when a crunchy crust has formed.

They are ready, all that remains is to enjoy them!
