• Olive oil or Coconut oil for shallow frying
• Freshly cracked pepper and sea salt, to taste

Method

1. In a saucepan, sauté the leek for 5 minutes until cooked.
2. Using a clean tea towel, squeeze the liquid from the zucchini, this helps the fritters to hold together.

4. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.  Add ¼ cup or spoonful’s of mixture into the pan and flatten with a spatula to form the fritter, cook 3 or 4 at once for until golden, turning the fritter to cook the other side.  Repeat with the remaining mixture.
