Servings: persons

4 tomatoes quartered, deseeded and diced
1 scallion trimmed and finely sliced
2 red chillis halved, deseeded and finely sliced
1 clove garlic peeled and crushed
1 lime grated zest and juice
7 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 pounds potatoes peeled and coarsely grated
9 ounces zucchini coarsely grated
1 onion peeled and coarsely grated
1 medium egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese grated
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
4 basil leaves

1
To make the salsa: gently mix the tomatoes, scallion, chilies, garlic, lime zest and 4 tablespoons of the oil in a bowl. Season to taste with salt, pepper, sugar and lime juice. Set aside.
2
To make the pancakes: pile the grated potato, zucchini and onion in a clean towel, bring the edges together to enclose it all and wring it tightly to squeeze out the juices into a bowl.
3
Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add the drained potato, zucchini and onion. Add the flour and Parmesan along with salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix in to make a fairly thick batter.
4
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick pan. Spoon 4 piles, each of 2 tablespoons of pancake mixture, into the pan and press them flat.
5
Cook for 2-3 mins each side. Keep them warm in the oven while you cook more batches until the mixture is used up.
6
Serve the hot pancakes piled up, topped with salsa and garnished with basil leaves.
