Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

350 g Zucchini grated, squeeze out excess moisture BEFORE WEIGHING
100 g Sourdough Discard
100 g All Purpose Flour
2 Eggs
50 g Cheddar Cheese Grated
50 g Parmesan Grated
50 g spring onions Chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Olive Oil for frying

Instructions

Grate the zucchini and squeeze all the moisture out before weighing it. This is to ensure that your fritters aren't watery and don't fall apart.
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and combine until it forms a thick batter. Ensure that all the flour is mixed through.
Heat a large frying pan on the stove, adding around 20 mls of oil to the pan. Once it's hot, turn the pan down to a moderate heat.
Add spoonfuls of mixture to the pan and flatten them slightly so they cook evenly. Cook for around 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
Lay cooked fritters on paper towel once cooked to absorb excess oil.

Notes

You can substitute the 350g of grated zucchini with other vegetables like corn, sweet potato, onion, capsicum etc.

You can add bacon to the mixture too.
