Courgette burgers/bites/fritters

You can cook these in a variety of ways hence the different names…

2 small/medium courgette (fresh as possible, they are less watery when smaller)
1/2 onion or some spring onion or chives
1 clove of garlic grated
75g of grated cheddar
2 eggs 
Some chopped fresh basil leaves (optional)
50 g breadcrumbs (or panko)
Salt
Pepper and any spices you fancy (eg texmex)
Olive oil (or chilli oil)

Grate courgette, you need a course grater that doesn’t crush them too much so the water doesn’t all come out. If they are too mushy strain a bit. Spiralising then chopping a bit would work well.
Chop onion finely
Mix everything together
Form the shapes you want for different cooking methods
eg
For cooking in the airfryer use egg rings (this recipe makes 4) to make burger shapes or form in to walnut size balls.
Spray with oil and cook for  15 to 20 mins at 190°C (These can also be cooked in oven, just takes a bit longer at 200°C)

For frying and making fritters heat oil in pan and add spoonfuls and flatten them to 1cm or thinner. Fry until brown and then turn. 

Serve with poached egg or sweet chilli dip or whatever you fancy…
