Method

  1. Grate the courgette coarsely, salt it, leave for ten minutes and squeeze out as much water as you can in a clean tea towel.

  2. Fry the courgette and spring onion in the oil in a 20 cm ovenproof pan for four minutes until any remaining water has gone.

  3. Beat the eggs with the mint and pepper, pour over, crumble the feta on top and cook over a low heat for eight minutes until the edges have set.

  4. Finish under a hot grill for three minutes until the top is set and spotted brown. Rest for five minutes before cutting.

Worth knowing

  • The squeeze is everything. Three hundred grams of courgette holds about 100 ml of water, and if it stays in, the frittata is wet.
  • The quantities make two portions and the figures are per portion. It is as good cold the next day as it is hot.
