Ingredients
Courgettes, 500g
Ricotta, 250g
Grated Grana Padano PDO, 80g
Breadcrumbs, 120g
Eggs, 2
Chopped parsley, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Method
Grate the courgettes using a coarse grater, then squeeze them well to remove any excess water.
In a bowl, combine the courgettes, ricotta, Grana Padano PDO, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper. Add the breadcrumbs gradually until the mixture becomes firm enough to hold together.
Shape the mixture into fritters roughly the size of a walnut and gently flatten them with your hands.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the fritters for around 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Serve the fritters hot with a fresh salad or a light yoghurt sauce.
