Steps
- Fritters: Place courgette in a thin kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Transfer courgette to a large bowl. Add leek, Cheddar, bread crumbs, cilantro, egg, jalapeño, salt, and pepper and mix well.
- In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium. Form small portions using the courgette mixture and place in skillet, flattening the mixture slightly into cakes. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip and brown the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet and fry remaining fritters.
- Yoghurt Sauce: In a blender combine FAGE Total, oil, cilantro, green onion, chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and garlic and blend until smooth.
- Serve fritters warm with Yoghurt sauce.
