Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Finely chop the shallots and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
- 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.
- 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.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties or fritters, about the size of your palm.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- 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.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- 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.
