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….

Having spent nearly 10 months either in a hostel or in a tent we are probably better equipped than the TV chefs to offer you our low cost recipes. We've been there and done it, as it were! These recipes initially only required a (camp) stove, a couple of pans, a frying pan, maybe an oven and a limited number of ingredients. As we're slowly worked our way out of the bad situation we found ourselves in we've added both gadgets and ingredients to our kitchen arsenel.
 
We worked on and still are working on a budget of £4 to feed 2 people Smooh the Cat and sometimes scraps for the urban Foxes!
 
We hope you find these recipes fun, interesting, tasty and useful. They are all also Gluten Free as Sue has Coeliac Disease but normal pasta etc. will cost you less.
 
Feel free to use them, share them, print them, most or all enjoy them.
 
We hope they will be of assistance to those on Universal Credit, our Homeless friends, Students, those on a limited income or anybody looking for a little inspiration.
