Courgette Fritters by Sertac Dirik from Mangal 2

Sertac Dirik runs Mangal 2 in London alongside his brother, Ferhat, taking over after their father, who originally founded the now legendary restaurant. They pair a modern dining experience with a refined and exceptional Anatolian menu. Working with passionate and knowledgable suppliers their menu presents seasonality, which is the basis of all Anatolian food. All this is made possible with a dedicated small team, with a duty to honour their roots from Kayseri, Turkey, with a little assistance from their beloved Ocakbaşı grill. Here, Sertac shares an easy recipe for his delicious Courgette Fritters.
