GREEK ZUCCHINI FRITTERS



Greek Zucchini Fritters image

These zucchini fritters are based on a recipe I learned from the cookbook author Diane Kochilas. A classic mezze served in Greek taverna, they're like a Greek version of latkes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds large zucchini, trimmed and grated on the wide holes of a grater or food processor
Salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as fennel, dill, mint, parsley (I like to use mostly dill)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 cup fresh or dry breadcrumbs, more as necessary
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup crumbled feta
All-purpose flour as needed and for dredging
Olive oil for frying

Steps:

  • Salt the zucchini generously and leave to drain in a colander for one hour, tossing and squeezing the zucchini from time to time. Take up handfuls of zucchini, and squeeze out all of the moisture. Alternately, wrap in a clean dish towel, and squeeze out the water by twisting at both ends.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the shredded zucchini, herbs, cumin, bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and feta. Mix together well. Take up a small handful of the mixture; if it presses neatly into a patty, it is the right consistency. If it seems wet, add more breadcrumbs or a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour. When the mixture has the right consistency, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or longer.
  • Heat 1 inch of olive oil in a large frying pan until rippling, or at about 275 degrees. Meanwhile, take up heaped tablespoons of the zucchini mixture, and form balls or patties. Lightly dredge in flour.
  • When the oil is very hot, add the patties in batches to the pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once with a spider or slotted spoon. Remove from the oil, and drain briefly on a rack. Serve with plain Greek style yogurt if desired.

Steps:

  • Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze dry in a clean kitchen towel or press in a ricer. Repeat with onion.
  • Mix together zucchini, onion, cheese, flour, and herbs. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in eggs just before frying.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, coat skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Scoop mounds (2 tablespoons each) of the zucchini mixture into skillet; flatten slightly using a spatula. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer fritters to paper-towel-lined plates to drain. Serve with dollops of plain yogurt and apricot jam.

Yield 1 Batch

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups zucchini, grated
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup onion, minced
fresh garlic, minced or garlic powder, to taste
1 egg
1 cup Bisquick (approximate)
oil

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients just until blended.
  • Heat enough oil in a pan to cover bottom.
  • Drop a spoonful of fritter batter into hot oil and cook until golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle lightly with salt.

Tips:

  • Select fresh and firm zucchini: Look for zucchini that are deep green in color, firm to the touch, and have no blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini: Use a box grater or a food processor to grate the zucchini. Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the fritters from sticking. Heat the skillet over medium heat before adding the batter.
  • Cook the fritters in batches: Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the fritters in batches so that they have enough room to brown.
  • Flip the fritters carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the fritters once they are golden brown on the bottom.
  • Serve the fritters warm: Zucchini fritters are best served warm. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
