Zucchini Fritters

A golden combination: feta and zucchini. These fritters are perfect as a side dish for a barbecue, as part of a picnic, or simply eaten out of hand as a snack. Zucchini are at their best from June through September.

1 zucchini, grated
2 eggs
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3.5 oz (100 g) feta cheese, crumbled
½ tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
½ tbsp fresh mint, chopped
½ tbsp fresh dill, chopped

1. Grate the zucchini and toss it with salt. Let it sit for about 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 20 minutes, rinse lightly and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel.

2. Transfer the drained zucchini to a bowl and mix with the crumbled feta. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir them into the zucchini mixture. Add the flour and mix until combined, then fold in the chopped parsley, mint, and dill.

3. Heat a layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, spoon the batter into the pan (about 1 tablespoon per fritter) and flatten slightly. Cook the fritters until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, working in batches as needed.
