Anchovy & Caper stuffed Courgette Fritters.

Anchovy and Caper stuffed Courgette Fritters. Eat well on universal credit

“Once upon a time in tent not far from here there were a couple who had very little money and were in a bit of an uncomfortable (Read dangerous) situation. They found a Community Share Shelf where allotment holders placed their excess for people to take. The phrase ‘A million ways to cook a Marrow / Courgette’ was coined and will stay with them for life”.

Read into that what you like. However we had some slightly damaged Courgettes which we couldn’t pass on, so I thought we could improve on their rather bland flavour and use them as a side for Fish and Chips….

Ingredients:-

1 Courgette, topped and tailed and cut thickly
Anchovies and Capers, chopped

Ingredients for the Gluten free Batter:-

1 Heaped table spoon of Gram Flour
2 Heaped table spoons of Cornflour
2 Heaped table spoons of Cornflour for dredging
Salt & Pepper to season
A sprinkle of Turmeric for colour
1 Tea Spoon of Baking Powder
Carbonated Water

Method:-

(1) Mix the Batter ingredients to make a smooth but liquid batter.
(2) Heat a fryer to 180c.
(3) With your thumb press a hole in the middle of each Courgette disc.
(4) Mix the Anchovies and Capers and press into the hole with the back of a spoon.
(5) Dredge each fritter in Cornflour.
(6) Dunk in the batter and fry until golden brown on all sides, in batches.
(7) Remove and drain of kitchen paper.
(8) Re-dunk to heat just before serving.

From a rather pitiful Courgette, these evolved into something pretty good. We even repeated them last night as a side for a Surf & Turf gig….

There is a reason behind this rather silly name. A while ago I found three tubs of Buffalo Mozzarella in the yellow sticker fridge for around 20p. Although they were just in date when I bought them the lonely remaining tub was somewhat suspect , date wise. But it was fine when we opened it.

There little point in a recipe here. But basically Sue hand pressed the burgers around a lump of Mozzarella, fried them gently and then finished them under a low heat in the grill. To add to the Pizza theme we had some discounted Chorizo slices. So layered up with Mexican Mayo & Garlic Mayo, mixed Salad leaves, Red Onion, sliced Tomato, sliced Gherkins, Burger dressed with Chorizo & melted Cheese - The Pizza Burger became a reality! The mixed Salad leaves were free (Thanks John) and effectively all we paid full price for was the minced Beef and Gluten free Bread Buns.

We served these beasties with hand cut chips and DIY Gluten free Onion Rings.
