A couple of years ago, while holidaying on the beautiful island of Corsica, I had an epiphany! It was all about food!
A local restaurant was serving the best beignet de courgettes, or zucchini fritters that we have ever eaten: they were light and crispy, full of flavour and cooked to perfection, and served with a tiny bowl of grated parmeggiano, in case we wished to sprinkle.
After a meal one evening, the chef de cuisine came to chat at our table, and seeing the collective and evident enthusiasm over his fritters, and being the nice chap that he most certainly was, he gave us his recipe.
Every summer since, I have followed his recipe to the letter .... and I have tried tweaking it - but to my great frustration, my fritters have never come even close to his!
So ... I thought you may be able to help. I'm sure that among all my very talented readers there is someone or two with a good recipe. Come on, I've shared a ton of my recipes with you, so surely you could share just one tiny little fritter recipe with me?!
I am looking for a recipe that uses grated zucchini, not sliced, but besides that condition I'm willing to try any variant.
If you manage to make fritters that look as good as these pictures, that are cooked through perfectly, and that combine a delicious and light batter with the true flavour of the vegetable then I need to know about it.
Thank you so much, I'll let you know how it goes!
