Yield Makes about 28

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (about 2 medium) zucchini, grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
3 large scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Kefalotyri cheese or Pecorino Romano
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Tzatziki for Fritters, for serving

Steps:

  • In a colander, sprinkle zucchini with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; toss to combine, and let stand at room temperature 45 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out any remaining juice.
  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, scallions, dill, mint, eggs, and cheese. Fold in flour until just combined.
  • Line a large platter or baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Using half the batter, drop heaping teaspoons directly into pan to create about fourteen 1 1/2-inch patties, each about 1/4 inch thick. Cook patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer zucchini fritters to paper-towel-lined platter, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining batter and tablespoon oil. Serve immediately with tzatziki.

¼ cup vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, onion, eggs, Romano cheese, milk, and flour. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy fritters, use a combination of grated and shredded zucchini. Grating the zucchini releases more moisture, which helps to create a crispy exterior.
  • Use a large bowl to mix the batter, as it will be easier to combine all of the ingredients. Ensure to whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly before adding them to the dry ingredients.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the fritters. If the oil is too hot, the fritters will brown too quickly and not cook evenly. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, and the fritters will not cook evenly. Fry the fritters in batches if necessary.
  • Allow the fritters to drain on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove excess oil.
  • For the tzatziki sauce, use a good quality Greek yogurt. This will give the sauce a creamy and tangy flavor. Ensure to squeeze the cucumber well to remove excess moisture before adding it to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Zucchini fritters with tzatziki sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. The fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the tzatziki sauce is creamy, tangy, and refreshing. This dish is perfect for a summer party or potluck.
