Method

  1. Coarsely grate the courgette and squeeze it bone dry in a clean cloth.
  2. Mix with the chicken, crumbled feta, egg and flour into a soft mixture.
  3. Fry heaped spoonfuls in the oil over medium heat, 4 minutes a side, until deep gold and they read 74°C (165°F) inside.
  4. Slice the cucumber thin, cut the apple into matchsticks and toss with the lime juice, keeping back a spoonful, and most of the dill.
  5. Stir the last of the lime juice and dill into the yogurt and serve alongside.
Chef’s tipA cloth, not salt, draws the water out of grated courgette. Squeeze as hard as your hands allow; every drop left is a fritter that falls apart in the pan.
KeepThe fritters keep 3 days chilled and are good cold; dress the salad to order. Freezes 2 months; reheat from frozen in a hot oven.
SwapNo feta? Two tablespoons of grated Parmesan, and the fritters get nuttier.
Pack itFritters in the box, salad in a pot, yogurt in foil. Assemble at the desk.
