Ingredients

1L Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil
3 tbsp plain flour
3 eggs, beaten
600g courgettes

Method

In a large deep sided pan, add enough oil to fill half the pan. Heat until the oil is hot and that a cube of bread sizzles when added to the oil. If the oil gets too hot and starts smoking, turn it down.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and eggs and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cut the courgettes into batons, and when the oil is hot, dip them into the batter and place carefully into the hot oil.
Deep fry in batches and cook for approx 3-4 minutes until crisp.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper
