Zucchini, dill & fetta fritters

Zucchini, dill & feta fritters are a delightful and savory way to enjoy a mix of fresh vegetables and cheese. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or light meal, these fritters combine the mild flavor of zucchini with the tanginess of feta and the aromatic hint of dill. They're not only delicious but also quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

3 zucchini
600g
4 shallots
200g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 eggs
100g
3/4 cup feta cheese
170g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g
3 slices white bread
100g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt to help draw out the moisture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible using your hands or a clean cloth.
2. Chop the Vegetables:
- Finely chop the shallots and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chopped shallots, onion, garlic, beaten eggs, feta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and torn bread pieces. Mix well.
4. Add the Flour:
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The consistency should be thick enough to hold together when formed into patties.
5. Form the Fritters:
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties or fritters, about the size of your palm.
6. Heat the Oil:
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
7. Cook the Fritters:
- Once the oil is hot, place the fritters in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain and Serve:
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve the zucchini, dill, and feta fritters warm, as a tasty snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Tips:

- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated zucchini to ensure the fritters hold together well and are crispy when cooked.

- Use fresh dill for the best flavor. If fresh dill is not available, dried dill can be used, but reduce the quantity by half.

- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour and bread with gluten-free alternatives.

- Cook the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can make them soggy instead of crispy.

- Serve the fritters with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce for an extra layer of flavor.

These zucchini, dill & feta fritters make for a versatile and tasty dish that can be served as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal. The combination of ingredients brings out a perfect balance of flavors, making them a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
