Coarsely grate the courgettes, finely grate the lemon zest and Parmesan, then deseed and finely chop the chilli. Pick and finely slice the mint leaves.Beat the egg, then mix with the courgette, flour, lemon zest, Parmesan, chilli, mint, oregano and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Scrunch it all up really well with your hands, then crumble in the feta and mix again.
