Perfect for a lazy brunch, lunch or afternoon snack, these tasty gluten free courgette and sweetcorn fritters are lightly spiced, full of flavor and also contain no egg!

 500 g courgettes (approximately 3) grated
 165 g tinned sweetcorn
 1 Clove garlic, crushed
 2 tsp dried oregano
 1 tsp dried cumin
 1.50 tsp baking powder
 75 g gluten free flour
 2 tbsp vegetable oil
 salt and pepper
1

Grate the courgette with a box grater.

2

Lay a clean towel out on the kitchen side and place the grated courgettes in the middle.

3

Scoop up the sides of the tea towel to make a moneybag and wring out all the water from the courgettes over the sink.
Keep going even when you think all the water is out.

Be sure NOT to miss this step out as courgettes are made up of over 90% water and you will end up with very soggy fritters!

4

Once drained, put the grated courgettes in a mixing bowl, add the sweetvorn, crushed garlic, oregano, cumin, baking powder and flour. Add seasoning if required.

5

Mix together with a wooden spoon.

6

With your hands, shape the mixture into 8 equal sized balls (approximately 2 tablespoons of mixture per ball).

7

Heat the oil on a medium heat in a frying pan.

8

When the pan is hot, place the balls in the frying pan and squash down into a flat circle shape with a spatula (you may need to do them in 2 or three batches).

9

Fry for 3 to 4 minutes each side until golden brown.
