Ingredients

olive oil for greasing
2 medium courgettes coarsely grated
6 large eggs
2 large or 4 small garlic cloves finely grated
1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
handful fresh coriander chopped
125g frozen peas
40g feta

Method

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Lightly grease four 200ml ramekins with oil. Take the coarsely grated courgettes and squeeze them thoroughly to eliminate excess moisture. Combine all the listed ingredients, apart from the feta, in a large jug and mix until fully incorporated.
Distribute the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins. Crumble the feta over the tops. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins until the muffins have puffed up and are completely set. These can be served either warm or chilled, accompanied by salad, slaw, or your choice of cooked vegetables.
