Delicious vegetable and gratin recipes

Vegetables are often more appreciated when prepared as a gratin. Vegetable gratin recipes are varied and often easy to prepare. With crème fraîche, the classic potato gratin (gratin dauphinois) is a sure bet and always a popular side dish.

Ingredients · Servings 4 people
  • 2 units courgette
  • 1 egg unit
  • 125g flour
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 12 cl water
  • 1 handful of coarse salt
  • cell
  • pepper
  • frying oil
Method · 20 min
  1. Wash the courgettes, cut them into thin slices and place them in a colander with a handful of coarse salt. Let them drain for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the doughnut batter. Pour the flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the egg yolk (the white will be used later), the oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix while gradually adding the water. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Once the courgettes have drained, rinse them quickly under cold water to remove excess salt and place them between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then season them with pepper.
  4. Whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form and gently fold it into the doughnut batter using a spatula.
  5. Cook the fritters in a boiling deep fryer, I used an electric fryer heated to 180°C, prick the courgettes round by round with a fork, dip them in the batter coating them well on both sides then plunge into the fryer, let them cook for 3-4 minutes so that the fritters are puffed up and lightly golden.
