Ingredients

  • 240 g flour
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 t sea salt
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 4 T olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • Sunflower oil, for frying
  • 350 g baby marrows, quartered lengthways
  • 150 g olives, pitted and crushed
  • 2 t pine nuts, toasted, for serving
  • Lemon juice, for serving
  • For the skordalia:

  • 9 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste

Method

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix the eggs, olive oil and water and whisk into the flour mixture.

Heat the oil, dip batches of baby marrow into the batter and deep-fry until golden. Drain on kitchen paper.

To serve, spread plates with the skordalia, top with baby marrows, scatter with olives and garnish with toasted pine nuts and a squeeze of lemon juice.

To make the skordalia, soak the bread in a little water until soft. Transfer to a blender, add the garlic and lemon juice and blend until smooth. Slowly pour in the olive oil while blending. Season to taste.
