Inspired by The Body Coach - Sweet Potato & Courgette Fritters

I'm still loving my Lean in 15 cookery book, and at the weekend I went through it and chose a few recipes that I'd like to try this week, bookmarked them, and added all the necessary ingredients to my shopping list. Tonight we all ate Tomatoes, Eggs & Chorizo, but for my lunch I made some sweet potato and courgette fritters, inspired by the sweet potato fritters recipe on the Body Coach website. They were really tasty, and can easily be made in advance and heated through in the oven, or frozen for a later date.

Sweet Potato & Courgette Fritters - makes 6

150g grated courgette

150g grated sweet potato
1 tsp paprika

1 egg

salt & pepper

handful fresh coriander (I used some that I'd recently frozen)

pinch of chilli flakes (optional)

tbsp coconut oil

• add all the ingredients apart from the coconut oil, into a bowl and mix well
• heat the coconut oil in a large non stick pan over a medium/high heat
• spoon a mound of mixture into the pan and press down a little
• repeat with the remaining mixture (you may need to cook them in 2 batches)
• cook for around 3 minutes on each side until browned
• remove from the pan and lay on a baking tray and pop into a preheated 180C oven for around 10 minutes to finish cooking (use this time to fry and egg or two to go on top of the fritters)
