Method
- Before cooking, measure these ingredients: 500 g courgettes and 90 g rolled oats. Set out the remaining ingredients, cookware and utensils so everything is ready.
- Grate and salt the courgettes; after 10 minutes squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Mix ground flaxseed with water and let stand for 10 minutes. Combine with courgette, onion, garlic and oats.
- Shape into fritters and fry in a little oil for roughly 4 minutes on each side.
- Before serving, check: Make patties similar in thickness so they cook evenly. Wait until the edges have set before turning.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Squeeze a spoonful of mixture in your palm before shaping. If it falls apart, rest it a few minutes so oats or other binders absorb moisture.
- Make patties similar in thickness so they cook evenly. Wait until the edges have set before turning.
- If they stick, do not tear them off the pan. Wait another minute and lift gently with a spatula; cooked patties should hold their shape.
