Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 200g courgette, coarsely grated
• 150g halloumi, coarsely grated
• 100g breadcrumbs
• A large handful fresh mint, finely chopped
• 1 lemon
• A pinch of chilli powder or finely chopped fresh chilli
• 1 egg, beaten
• Olive or sunflower oil for shallow frying
• sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

1. Pop the courgette in a sieve with a pinch of salt and pepper. Give it a squeeze with your hands to remove some of the water from it.
2. Toss the courgette in a bowl and mix with the halloumi, breadcrumbs, mint, zest of the lemon and a squeeze of juice, chilli powder and the beaten egg.
3. The mix should come together to form little falafels. If it's too wet, toss a few more breadcrumbs in. If it's too dry, add a little more grated courgette.
4. The falafels will fry better if you chill the mix first but you can fry them straight away, too. Just get a large frying pan hot, add enough olive oil to generously coat the pan and cook on all sides till golden.

Serving suggestions

Serve in a pita with salad and a tahini dressing.
