Courgette Fritters

I was mucking about this evening with a vague idea of cooking something courgette orientated, and after much adding of random ingredients I found myself with this batter-type mixture, so thought it would be rude not to fry it!  I must say it was a smash hit with the family so even though I wasn't planning to, thought I ought to share with everybody, and I will try to be as accurate as possible with measurements, so long as my memory serves me well!  

Here Goes:

2 Courgettes, Grated

2 - 3 tbsp Plain Flour

100g Cheddar

75g Parmesan

1 Egg

1 Finely chopped Small bunch of Mint

Juice of 1/2 a Lemon

2 Garlic cloves, grated

100g Mascarpone

100g Cream cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 180 degrees

Literally just throw all the above into a mixing bowl, as I did earlier, it didn't seem to do it any harm!  Get a large frying pan and fill with about 2cm deep of vegetable oil and put on a high heat, when hot enough, using a spoon, gently spoon in small balls into the hot fat, there should be room for 3 or 4 fritters.  After about a minute, turn over using a spatula and brown the other side.  Remove and place on a tray and put in the hot oven.  Spoon 3 more into the pan and carry on until all batter has been used up.  

I think this would taste great with tzatziki, so feel free to use my recipe from a week or so ago http://the-student-housewife.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/greek-bbq-on-summers-evening.html

Enjoy :-)
