Beignets de Courgette
- 1 pound zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- oil for frying
Shred the zucchini using a food processor and put it in a big mixing bowl. Stir in the eggs, garlic, flour and salt and pepper and mix until blended. The batter may look a bit runny, but don't get alarmed. It all holds together once it heats the hot oil.
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet. Drop the batter by tablespoons full into the oil and cook until browned - three to four minutes per side. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper towel.
Serve warm.
Makes about 20 fritters.
