These courgette/zucchini fritters are a delight, and popular with vegetarians, although you don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy this recipe suggestion! Pair them with a lovely fresh salad with beets, red cabbage and a creamy yellow sauce on top, perhaps add crumbled feta on top of both for a more filling meal... the choice is yours!

...nice to know, every summer there is always an oversupply of zucchini.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Courgette recipes are always good as there's always a glut when you grow your own.
ReplyDeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteI love cooking with turmeric
Looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI made sweetcorn fritters once, they weren't very well received, but that could have had more to do with my cooking!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Sounds like it's probably good but I'm not a Zucchini or cabbage fan ;) Enjoy your weekend..
ReplyDeleteSo yummy! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful healthy dish! I imagine you can make it without the psyllium husk powder if you wish. Thank you for another nice dish. ♥
ReplyDeleteYUM. Big yum. I make something similiar without the psyllium husk - what does it add to the recipe?
ReplyDeleteLooks good, though I've never tried zucchini.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really delicious...I can't wait to try it!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.:))
Re Psyllium Husk:
ReplyDeleteBoth 'The Joy of Home With Martha Ellen' and 'Elephant's Child' asked about Psyllium Husk.
This is used as a binder in many recipe suggestions, it adds fibre and is gluten free.

This looks wonderful and perfect for all the extra garden offerings later in the summer! Hope you have a lovely weekend! xx Karen
ReplyDeleteHello Jan!:) This recipe is sooo good for my diet,...yes I'm still eating food with less calories, and feel so much better for it. I love beetroot, and we grow Courgettes on the farm, so this will be on our menu very soon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!:)
Oh my...so yummy! Thanks for sharing this. And happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteSure looks good.
ReplyDeleteJan, that sounds perfectly delightful! And I like that it calls for both turmeric and pepper. Black pepper is supposed to enhance the benefits of turmeric somehow.
ReplyDeletePERFECT. Just the kind of recipe I'm looking for when I entertain an out of town friend next week. Thanks for this wonderful vegetarian recipe, Jan.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiring recipe. The courgette fritters are indeed super tasty and the salad and sauce sound delicious too. :) Happy weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteJohn loves both beets and cabbage. Thanks! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThese fritters look delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you a happy day and weekend!
this looks delicious...and goes together well!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I think it's time to get some Turmeric in the house. That boat race above that you posted would be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan! What a great combination! I love it! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis post is really interesting. My thumb is up and thanks for sharing this great information!!
