Ingredients

• 500 grams courgettes (zucchini)
• 150 grams feta cheese
• 80 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 stalks spring onions (scallions)
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 60 milliliters olive oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Grate the courgettes (zucchini) using a large-hole grater and place them in a colander. Sprinkle them with the salt, toss, and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their moisture.

Step 2

While waiting, finely chop the spring onions (scallions) and dill, and crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze the grated courgettes to remove as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crisp fritters.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed courgettes, feta cheese, chopped spring onions, dill, freshly ground black pepper, and the egg. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the flour to the bowl and mix until the batter holds together but is not overly wet. Adjust with an extra tablespoon of flour if needed.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter, shape into patties, and place them carefully in the hot skillet. Flatten slightly with a spatula.

Step 8

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, adding more oil as necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, tzatziki, or a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
