  1. Coarsely grate the courgettes, toss with salt and leave to drain in a colander for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the quinoa in the water until tender and the water is absorbed, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Finely grate the Parmesan.
  4. Squeeze the courgettes firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
  5. Mince the garlic. In a large bowl, mix the courgette, quinoa, Parmesan, eggs, minced garlic, oregano and breadcrumbs until well combined.
  6. Shape the mixture into equal patties. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the patties for about 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper before serving.
