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