Ingredients

  • 500 g zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 eggs
  • 80 g all-purpose flour
  • 120 g feta, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp dill, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. 1Grate the zucchini, salt it lightly, and leave it in a colander for fifteen minutes.
  2. 2Squeeze it out hard in a clean cloth. You want it genuinely dry, not merely drained.
  3. 3Mix with the eggs, flour, feta, dill and green onions. Season carefully, as the feta is already salty.
  4. 4Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat.
  5. 5Drop spoonfuls into the pan and flatten them slightly.
  6. 6Fry four minutes a side until set and deeply golden, then drain briefly.

💡 Whatever you think is dry enough, squeeze again. Wet zucchini is the only reason these fritters go soggy in the middle.
