Step by Step
Wash and grate the courgettes using the thickest part of the grater. Put the grated courgette into a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them sweat for about half an hour to release the water, which will make for crispier buñuelos.Chop the onion and slowly fry it in a saucepan with a dash of olive oil for about 10 minutes. Mix the onion with the grated courgette, beaten eggs and spreadable cheese. Stir well and slowly add the flour to get a good texture.
Pour plenty of olive oil in a small saucepan. When hot, add small balls of the mixture using a spoon or piping bag. When the fritters are golden brown, turn them over.
Another option is to bake them in the oven: arrange them on baking paper and bake for 10 minutes at 180 ºC, then turn them over and give them 10 more minutes.
Nutritional Tips
When deep-frying food, make sure the oil is very hot and completely covers it. The best approach is to use a small saucepan and fry small amounts at a time to make sure the oil remains hot.If you want to give a different touch to it, you can accompany these fritters with romesco sauce (typical of Catalan gastronomy) - http://worldwide.borges.es/blogpost/tips-for-romesco-sauce/.
