Ingredients
-
1 lb zucchini
-
1 small yellow onion, grated
-
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
-
4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
-
1/2 cup kasseri cheese, grated or 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
-
4 eggs, slightly beaten
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
olive oil, for frying
-
fresh ground pepper
-
1/2 cup chopped green onion (spring)
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini and place in a colander; sprinkle with salt and let drain for 30 minutes; squeeze out moisture and pat with paper towels.
- Place the zucchini in a bowl and add the green and yellow onions, dill, parsley, cheese, eggs, flour and salt and pepper to taste; mix well.
- In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, pour in oil to a depth of ¼ inch; when the oil is hot, drop the batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the pan (or form into small patties), allow space in between fritters; fry for 2 minutes on the fist side, then turn to brown on the second side for about 3 minutes; using a slotted spatula transfer to paper towels or newspaper to drain; repeat with remaining batter.
