Ingredients
4 Zucchinis Medium, shredded
1/2 Medium Red Onion chopped
3 tbsp Dill Fresh, chopped
2 tbsp Mint Fresh, chopped
2 tbsp Chives or Scallions Fresh, chopped
1 cup Feta Cheese crumbled
1.5 cup Flour Self Rising is best but All purpose will work too
2 Eggs beaten
4 tbsp Cooking oil for frying or more depending on the size of your pan
Preparation
Step 1
Shred the zucchinis and place them into a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for a 1/2 hour.
Step 2
Using a colander, squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini and place it back into the bowl; (Tip: & this is very important if you want crispy fritters, the less moisture from zucchini the better).
Step 3
Chop the onions and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Chop the herbs (dill, mint & chives) and add to the bowl.
Step 5
Add feta cheese into the bowl and mix it all together.
Step 6
Beat eggs and add to your zucchini mixture.
Step 7
Add flour and mix it all together.
Step 8
Heat up a heavy skillet (I prefer cast iron, as this distributes the heat evenly) and add some cooking olive oil (Tip: this is one of the most important steps if you want to achieve crispy fritters, both the skillet and the oil need to be super hot).
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, using spoon add a tablespoon of the mixture to the pan (Tip: do not overcrowd your pan, as the introduction of too much of the mixture will cool off your oil).
Step 10
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown, then flip and cook on the opposite side.
Step 11
Continue with the remaining zucchini mixture until all the fritters are cooked.
Step 12
Serve with tzatziki or Greek yogurt. Enjoy.
