![Greek style fritters Coop]()
Dinner in my book has never been following a recipe. Or rarely. It usually consists of bunging the same items together. Or concocting a random collection of not really matching foods. CBC used to phone me when we lived apart and ask what I'd had for dinner and be bemused at the stand-alone items that I would eat separately or bung together on the plate. I would happily eat the same items each evening though I do like trying new things and always appreciate new things (especially when someone else cooks.). When I lived in Bali, I honestly ate pretty much the same meal morning and evening for most of that year (with a few occasional variations) and I was perfectly happy (except for nice bread cravings. And cheese) I find recipes very demanding and don't particularlyl like having to buy a big batch of something just for one small part. However, I picked up the Co-operative Food Magazine during half term and saw this recipe for Greek-style fritters. Omelette is one of my favourite dinners so I figured this would be an interesting take on this. If you want to make the Greek style fritters,
here on p11) . They are basically made of eggs, spring onions, courgettes, lemon zest, flour, feta, parmesan (I didn't bother, just added extra feta nor did I add fresh herbs) and they are super tasty served with salad. We also served them with houmous. We made them for my friend M as she is veggie which she appreciated, though I am not sure she appreciated the stressed ogre I turn into when trying to follow a new recipe and CBC is getting in the way, making a mess. A word of warning- don't grate the courgettes with the large slicy grater function- do them smaller as my fritters were hard to keep together. Also make yours a bit smaller than did mine! We had the left over ones the next day for lunch- they were still delicious cold with more salad.
Oh and in the 6th picture, we finally christened the nice decanter we were given as a wedding present by CBC's best man. It's perfect for water as I don't fancy washing it out from wine-I can imagine it just slipping out of my clumsy hand!
