    September is almost over already! Isn't that crazy?

    But before the month ends, I thought I will feature the recipe with two vegetables, that are at their best this month. Courgette (or zucchini, depending on which part of the globe you live on) and corn.

    Apparently, courgettes are one of the easiest and most productive crops to grow. Just two or three plants, can provide enough veg to keep you going throughout summer and early autumn. Also, they are among one of the fastest growing vegetables, from sowing, to eating your first courgette could take as little as 6 weeks!

    Sounds good, right? The only problem is, that you may actually end up with more courgettes than you have bargained for. Among the home gardeners, it has a bit of a reputation for overwhelming production. And there are only as many courgettes as one can eat... So, if you are struggling to find the use for them, today's recipe is for you! It's so quick and easy, and can be served as a full meal, or a side dish. Corn and courgette fritters are great idea for lunch or dinner, and can be made in under 20 minutes, ideal meal, when you are short of time.

    You may remember my recipe for Potato Rosti or Vegetable Fritters from earlier this year. This courgette fritters recipe is very similar, but includes some extra flour and an egg in the mix. The flour will give them a bit more texture and will add an extra crunch to the outside of the fritters, and egg will hold it all nicely together. But, if you are vegan, you can simply skip an egg, and replace it with the flaxegg. Or you can skip the whole flour + egg combo (traditional fritters recipes do not call for either) all together, and will still end up with a great result.

    I hope you will like them!

    Have a great weekend and until next time!

      You are so right, we grow our own, and this year has been especially rich in courgettes. After giving tons of them away to our neighbours, we are still left with soooo many of them 🙂 This recipe will definitely help to consume them all. Thanks so much for sharing Anna

      I've tried this recipe today, with no egg (my husband can't eat eggs) and it was delicious! It goes really well with the spicy dip! We ate a whole lot straight away! Thank you!
