Crispy courgette fritters meet a fiery yet tangy dip in this vibrant street-food-inspired dish, bursting with fresh herbs, aromatic spices, and a squeeze of citrus zing.

Crispy courgette fritters with fiery tangy dip

Typically described as:

Thomasina Miers is a master of making vegetables sing, giving them bold, gutsy flavours and plenty of texture. This recipe brings together the delicate sweetness of courgettes with the earthy, aromatic punch of Greenfields Ras El Hanout. Pan-fried until golden and crisp, these fritters are perfect for dunking into a smoked paprika yoghurt dip. Serve them as a mezze, a light lunch, or pile them high for an alfresco summer spread with friends.

Serves 4 as a starter

Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 35 mins

For the fritters:

  • 3 medium courgettes, grated

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 large handful fresh coriander, chopped

  • 1 large handful fresh mint, chopped

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Ras El Hanout

  • 75g plain flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder (Greenfields Baking Powder)

  • 2 medium eggs, beaten (or egg substitute for vegan)

  • Olive oil, for frying

For the smoked paprika yoghurt:

  • 200g Greek yoghurt

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Smoked Paprika

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Pinch of salt

  1. Place the grated courgettes in a colander, sprinkle with the salt, and leave for 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands or a clean tea towel.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the courgettes with the onion, garlic, coriander, mint, and Ras El Hanout.

  3. Stir in the flour and baking powder, followed by the eggs, mixing until combined. The mixture should hold together – if too wet, add a little more flour.

  4. Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

  5. Drop heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, flattening slightly. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper.

  6. For the dip, mix the yoghurt, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl.

  7. Serve the fritters hot, with the dip on the side and an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs.

For extra crunch, toss in a tablespoon of Greenfields Crispy Fried Onions into the batter. You can also make these ahead and reheat in the oven for 5–6 minutes before serving.
