Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • 2 grated courgettes
  • 50g ricotta
  • ½ lemon, zest only
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 20g grated parmesan
  • 50g self-raising flour
  • Dips and salad to serve
  • Line a bowl with a clean tea towel, and add the courgette with a pinch of salt. Leave for 30 mins, then squeeze out all the excess liquid. Tip the drained courgettes into a bowl and stir in the eggs, ricotta, lemon zest and parmesan, combining well. Fold in the flour, and season again.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan, and spoon in six dollops of the courgette mixture. Cook for 4 mins on each side until golden, then transfer to a baking sheet to cook for 10 mins in the oven. Serve hot or cold, with dips and salad.
