Instructions

  1. Grate the courgettes, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let them drain for 10 minutes in a colander.
  2. Squeeze the courgettes firmly to remove the water, then mix them with the grated onion, chopped garlic, herbs and crumbled feta.
  3. Add the eggs, flour, pepper and mint, then mix until you have a soft dough that holds together in balls.
  4. Shape small patties about 1 cm thick.
  5. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until well browned.
  6. Drain them on kitchen paper and serve with the yogurt mixed with crushed garlic and the lemon wedges.

Variations and tips

Version without frying. Arrange the patties on an oiled tray and bake at 200 °C for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.

With potato. Replace half the courgettes with grated potato, well squeezed.
