Makes: 12 Fritters

- Salt and pepper
- 1 free range egg
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 2 carrots, coarsely grated

- Combine the courgette, carrot, coriander and garlic in a bowl and add the batter

When the oil just shimmers, drop in heaped tablespoons of the courgette mixture, flattening them with the back of the spoon to make fritters. Fry each one for 2-3 mins or until golden-brown on each side. If you need to cook in batches in a smaller pan, set the fritters to drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper
- Spoon the Tracklements Caramelised Onion Marmalade over the warm fritters so it gently melts. Cutlery optional …
