Ingredients

2 medium courgettes (approx. 400g), coarsely grated

2 tablespoons plain flour (or gluten-free alternative)
Small handful fresh parsley, chopped
Small handful fresh mint, chopped

Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Directions

Conventional Method

Grate courgette into a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is essential for crispy fritters.
In a large bowl combine grated courgette, halloumi, eggs, flour, parsley, mint, and garlic. Season well with salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Drop heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook in batches for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and crispy.
Drain on kitchen paper. Serve immediately.

Thermomix Method

Add parsley, mint, and garlic to Thermomix bowl. Chop 3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down the sides.
Add grated courgette, halloumi, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix 10 sec/reverse/speed 3 until just combined.
Cook fritters in batches in a frying pan with olive oil, 3-4 minutes each side until golden. Thermomix cannot replicate the pan-fried finish.
Serve immediately.
