Step 1Coarsely grate the courgettes, place in a sieve set over a bowl and sprinkle with a couple of large pinches of salt . Leave to sit for 20min to help remove some of the courgette moisture. Meanwhile, finely grate 1tsp zest from the 1/2 lemon, then squeeze the juice (keep separate). Stir together the tzatziki ingredients with the lemon juice and check seasoning.
Step 2Place the courgette on a clean tea towel, wrap and squeeze out any excess liquid. In a medium bowl, mix flour and egg, then stir through squeezed courgette, the goat’s cheese, mint, spring onion, lemon zest and some freshly ground black pepper.
Step 3Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add 3 large spoonfuls of the mixture to the pan, spreading each out a little with the back of the spoon. Cook for 3-4min per side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with the tzatziki.
