Zuchini Fritters
With summer in full swing, the zucchini will be abundant any day now!! Here's a recipe everyone will like. This recipe will make 12 3-inch fritters
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs whisked
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 3 ounces Feta cheese crumbled
- 2 teaspoons fresh mint chopped
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 medium Zucchini
- ½ cup Sweet onion minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Flaky salt for finishing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended then mix in the flour, feta, mint, salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated
- Slice the ends off the zucchini. Using the coarse side of a box grater or shredding disk on a food processor, grate the zucchini. Transfer to a clean dish towel and roll up like a burrito. Hold over the sink and twist the ends in opposite directions to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Add the zucchini to the bowl, along with the onion and mix to thoroughly combine.
- Heat a large sauté pan or griddle over medium heat. When it's hot, add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels and set a cooling rack on top.
- Working in batches, scoop 2-3 tablespoon dollops of the zucchini mixture on to the hot pan. Use a spatula to flatten each one slightly. Fry until the bottoms turn golden brown, about 3 minutes, turn over onto the other side and fry until the second sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack and sprinkle lightly with the flaky salt.
- Repeat with remaining zucchini mixture, adding a small amount of oil between batches as needed and letting it heat until it shimmers.
- Serve immediately or keep the fritters warm in a 180℉ oven.
