Ingredients
1 big courgette
1 tbsp of mashed potato
2 eggs
35g of plain flour
a handful of mint leaves
75g of feta cheese
a dash of olive or sunflower oil
Method
Carefully grate the courgette. You can use the side of the grater which has the big holes, so that you have little strips of courgette. Once it gets difficult to hold the courgette you can stop grating.
Spread a clean tea towel onto a breadboard and then spread the courgette pieces over this and leave it there while you get everything else ready.
Crumble up the feta into small pieces and put it into a large bowl.
Ask a grown up to help you chop the mint leaves into very small pieces. Add these to the bowl.
Put the tablespoon of mashed potato into the bowl. Crack the two eggs in on top of it.
Scoop the courgette off the tea towel and into the bowl. You will notice that the towel is wet. It has taken some of the liquid out of the courgette for you.
Stir everything together. Ask an adult to heat a pan to medium with some oil, and to help you spoon a big spoonful of the batter into the pan. Allow it to cook until golden then carefully turn it over and cook until that side is golden too. Do this with the rest of the batter.
