Chanukah Courgette Latkes

Ingredients

• 3 courgettes, grated
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 3 free range eggs
• 40g plain flour
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 120ml vegetable oil for frying

Method

1. Grate potatoes, courgettes and onion on the fine side of a grater, or use a food processor.
2. Strain grated potatoes, courgettes and onion through a colander, pressing out excess water.
3. In a large bowl, make the batter by mixing the eggs, flour, and seasoning together to form a thick batter.
4. Add the pressed vegetables to the batter mixture and mix well.
5. Heat the oil in a frying pan, lower the heat, and place 1 large tablespoon of the vegetable batter mixture into hot sizzling oil. Fry on one side for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown. Turn over and fry on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Continue with remaining batter, until used up, adding more oil when necessary.
7. Server with sour cream or yoghurt.
