Instructions:

Grate the zucchini and place into a colander.

Sprinkle with a just little sea salt and mix through

Sit for 10 minutes.Squeeze out all the moisture from the zucchini with your hands –

I place the zucchini into a large bowl.

Add parsley, mint, peas, spring onion, pepper, lemon zest, eggs and almond meal .

Mix well until combined. At this stage it’s good to test cook a fritter to make sure it holds together well. Add a touch more almond meal.

Cook fritters in a pan over a medium heat in a little olive oil for 2 minutes each side or until cooked through.
