ZUCCHINI AND SUMAC FRITTERS WITH TOMATO AND MINT SALSA
These fritters could be served as appetizers, as a side dish or as one of several vegetarian dishes. It's the closest recipe I've found for some delicious zucchini fritters I ate and loved some years ago, though I'm pretty sure that they didn't have sumac in them, and sumac adds a lot of flavour. When I inquired after the recipe at the time, the Greek woman who'd made them she named the key ingredients but was very dismissive of them. I felt as if to her it was if I'd asked how to make something as simple as say a basic bread and butter sandwich with a slice of cheese in it! This recipe is from the Australian Women's Weekly's 'fresh food fast: delicious no fuss healthy recipes'. Australian brown onions are what Americans call yellow onions. Sumac, if you've not used it is defined (in the same recipe book) as "a purple-red astringent spice ground from berries that grow on shrubs that flourish wild around the Mediterranean; has a tart, lemony flavour. Found in Middle-Eastern food stores. Substitute: 1/8 teaspoon five-spice plus 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper plus 1/8 teaspoon all spice equals 3/4 teaspoon sumac". I've found that I can purchase it readily from more upmarket supermarkets and European delicatessens.

Steps:
- Squeeze the excess liquid from the zucchini using absorbent paper until it is as dry as possible or literally squeeze-dry a handful at a time in your hand; combine the zucchini in a medium-sized bowl with the onion, breadcrumbs, eggs, oregano and sumac.
- Heat the oil in a large, preferably non-stick pan; drop rounded tablespoons of the zucchini mixture in batches, into the pan; cook until browned on both sides and cooked through.

In a second bowl, combine flour, cumin, baking powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add egg, remaining 1 tablespoon juice and 1/2 cup water; stir until smooth. Add corn and remaining 1/2 onion and 1/4 cup cilantro. Coat a large frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Form 1/4 cup corn mixture into a patty; repeat with remaining corn mixture to form 12 patties. Working in batches of 3 and coating pan with cooking spray as needed, cook patties, turning once, until brown, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Divide patties and salsa among 4 plates.

Tips:
- Use a large, heavy skillet to cook the fritters. This will help prevent them from sticking and will also allow you to cook more fritters at once.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the fritters. This will also cause them to stick and will not allow them to cook evenly.
- Cook the fritters over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Flip the fritters carefully when they are golden brown on the bottom. This will prevent them from breaking.
- Serve the fritters with the tomato and mint salsa. The salsa will add a delicious flavor and freshness to the fritters.
Conclusion:
These zucchini and sumac fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for summer when zucchini is in season. The fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the tomato and mint salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement.
