Zucchini Fritters

Golden-brown zucchini fritters with dill, spring onion and feta, eaten warm or cold with yogurt.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 600 g zucchini
• 100 g feta
• 3 eggs
• 4 spring onions
• 1/2 bunch dill
• 1/2 bunch parsley
• 100 g flour
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 250 g yogurt
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Coarsely grate the zucchini, mix with 1 tsp salt and let sit for 10 min., then squeeze out firmly by hand – the drier the shreds, the crispier the fritters.
2. Cut the spring onions into fine rings, finely chop the dill and parsley, and crumble the feta.
3. Mix the zucchini, herbs, spring onions, feta and eggs, sift the flour over the top and stir into a thick batter; season with pepper and a little salt.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until a drop of batter sizzles immediately.
5. Drop in 1 tbsp of batter per fritter, flatten slightly and fry for 3–4 min. per side until golden brown and easily releasing from the pan.
6. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve with the yogurt, warm or cooled.
