100% home-grown veg meal

I was very proud of producing this meal as ALL the vegetables and herbs came from the garden. If we had chickens then we would have our own eggs too, but I don't think that a chicken would be a good friend for Chatouille, the mischieveous cat of ours.

What did we have in the garden then? Courgettes, French beans, potatoes.
+ a variety of herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano, parsley, sage, chives, lemon balm).

So, using a recipe recommended by my friend from Bonn, Germany, I made some courgette patties/fritters served with boiled potatoes and beans. Very easy and extremely lean and healthy!

Serves 4:

2-3 medium size courgettes, grated
3 eggs
200g feta cheese, diced in small cubes
60g bread crumbs
2 tsp thyme, chopped
black pepper


1. Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl.

2. Make golf-ball size balls in the palm of your hands and place onto a baking sheet.

3. Flatten the balls with a spatula and place into a 200C pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with side-dish vegetables. Here, new potatoes and French beans from the garden.

(sorry to go on and on about the vegetables from the garden, but this is extremely satisfying!)

Merci Annie, pour m'avoir recommendé cette délicieuse recette !
