Courgette cake recipe

Ingredients:

1 large zucchini, grated

1 large egg
1 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp mixed spices
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Method

Remove excess liquid from freshly grated zucchini by placing them between paper towels and squeezing. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Heat a large pan on medium, and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Shape spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into 2-in. (diameter) patties, and drop onto the sizzling pan. Cook each side for about a minute and a half, or until the outside is golden brown. Finish the cakes off in the oven. Stick them on a baking pan and broil them for 1-2
minutes. Serve hot, alone or with yoghurt and mint dressing.

Each scrumptious morsel is totally satisfying and packed with vitamin-rich zucchini, yet strikingly low in calories, carbohydrates and fat.

Makes about 12 cakes.
