Ingredients

  • 500g zucchini (about 3 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon salt for draining zucchini
  • 150g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 75g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil for frying
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
  • 200g tzatziki sauce for serving

Instructions

1

Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Place in a colander, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to release moisture.

2

Squeeze the grated zucchini firmly in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove as much liquid as possible. This is essential for crispy fritters.

3

Transfer the squeezed zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled feta, spring onions, fresh dill, and fresh mint. Mix well to combine.

4

Add the beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, black pepper, and dried oregano to the bowl. Stir until a thick batter forms and all ingredients are evenly distributed.

5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

6

Drop heaped tablespoons of the batter into the hot pan, gently flattening each fritter to about 7cm diameter. Fry 4-5 fritters at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

7

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The fritters should be cooked through with no raw batter in the center.

8

Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Add remaining olive oil to the pan and repeat with remaining batter.

9

Serve the zucchini fritters warm with lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce on the side.
