Method
1
Prepare all the ingredients before you start. It is important, that after grating the courgettes, to squeeze out as much water as possible, either in a sieve or by wrapping in a clean tea towel.
2
Sieve the flour into a bowl and add the beaten eggs, mix well. Sprinkle in the dried mint, salt, pepper and paprika.
3
Stir in the courgettes, finely sliced spring onions, chopped herbs and feta cheese.
4
Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan. Without letting the oil become too hot, drop in large spoonfuls of the courgette batter. Let them spread a little and flatten out slightly. Fry gently for 1-2 minutes until browned and turn over. Cook until nicely browned on both sides.
