Here is a simple and delicious recipe for courgette pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium courgettes
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup flour (can be wheat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or grated semi-cured Manchego cheese (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 finely chopped onion (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Elaboration:
- Prepare the courgette:
- Wash the courgettes well and grate them on a coarse grater.
- Place the grated courgette in a colander and sprinkle with a little salt. Leave to stand for about 10-15 minutes to release excess water.
- Next, squeeze the grated courgette well using a clean cloth or kitchen paper to remove as much water as possible.
- Mix the ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix together the drained courgette, egg, flour, cheese, chopped garlic and onion (if using).
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. You should obtain a uniform and slightly sticky mixture.
- Form the pancakes:
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- With a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and place them in the pan, forming pancakes in the size of your choice.
- Flatten the pancakes slightly with the back of a spoon so that they cook evenly.
- Cooking:
- Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Once ready, place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve the courgette pancakes warm, accompanied by a sauce of your choice, such as herbed Greek yoghurt or tomato sauce.
Enjoy your courgette pancakes!
