Best 6 Zucchini Fritters With Sour Cream Sauce Recipes

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Shred zucchini using the large holes on a cheese grater.
• Transfer shredded zucchini to a large kitchen towel or thick paper towels; close the towel around the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Place zucchini in a large mixing bowl.
• Add breadcrumbs, garlic, cheese, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and eggs; stir with a fork until thoroughly combined.
• If the mixture looks a little wet and won't hold together, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large and deep skillet set over medium heat. Oil should cover the bottom of the skillet and should be about ¼ inch deep.
• Once oil is hot, drop a glob of zucchini batter into the skillet; flatten it on top with the smooth side of a spoon.
• Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.
• Flip the cakes over and continue to cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until browned.
• Remove cakes from skillet and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
• In the meantime, combine sour cream and herbs in a small bowl; mix until incorporated. Taste and adjust.
• Serve warm zucchini cakes with the sour cream dipping sauce.

THE BEST ZUCCHINI FRITTERS EVER

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.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon of shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the skillet, and flatten slightly with the back of a spatula. Turn fritters over when the center appears dry. Cook on the other side until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm. Add more shortening to skillet as needed, and continue with remaining batter.

EASY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
• Put zucchini in the middle of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture from zucchini as possible.
• Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Scoop batter by the tablespoon into the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim ends off zucchini and grate them either on the large holes of a box grater or, if you have one, using the shredding blade of a food processor. The latter is my favorite as I'm convinced it creates the coarsest and most rope-like strands and frankly, I like my fritters to look like mops.
• In a large bowl, toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and set aside for 10 minutes. Wring out the zucchini in one of the following ways: pressing it against the holes of a colander with a wooden spoon to extract the water, squeezing out small handfuls at a time, or wrapping it up in a clean dishtowel or piece of cheese cloth and wringing away. You'll be shocked (I was!) by the amount of liquid you'll lose, but this is a good thing as it will save the fritters from sogginess.
• Return deflated mass of zucchini shreds to bowl. Taste and if you think it could benefit from more salt (most rinses down the drain), add a little bit more; we found 1/4 teaspoon more just right. Stir in scallions, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, and egg and some freshly ground black pepper. In a tiny dish, stir together flour and baking powder, then stir the mixture into the zucchini batter.
• In a large heavy skillet - cast iron is dreamy here - heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop small bunches of the zucchini mixture onto the skillet only a few at a time so they don't become crowded and lightly nudge them flatter with the back of your spatula. Cook the fritters over moderately high heat until the edges underneath are golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. If you find this happening too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Flip the fritters and fry them on the other side until browned underneath again, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain briefly on paper towels then transfer to baking sheet and then into the warm oven until needed. Repeat process, keeping the pan well-oiled, with remaining batter. I like to make sure that the fritters have at least 10 minutes in the oven to finish setting and getting extra crisp.
• For the topping, if using, stir together the sauce ingredients and adjust the flavors to your taste. Dollop on each fritter before serving. These fritters are also delicious with a poached or fried egg on top, trust me.

MEDITERRANEAN ZUCCHINI FRITTERS WITH SENSATIONAL YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For Sensational Dipping Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a mini-processor and whiz to combine. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to suit your taste. Thin with a little more water, if necessary. The sauce should be made first to allow flavours to blend and mingle and cool in the refrigerator. (can be made up to 2 days ahead).
• For Zucchini Fritters: Lightly salt the grated zucchini and put in a colander to drain excess water for ½ an hour to 45 minutes. Squeeze out excess water by pressing on handfuls of zucchini at the end of this time.
• Wilt the onion and garlic in the 1 tblsp olive oil, in a small saucepan, for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent and softened.
• Combine all the fritter ingredients in a large bowl to make a uniform mixture (this includes the zucchini and wilted onion mixture). Season to suit your taste with salt and pepper (careful - the feta cheese will already be quite salty, and there will also be salt in the zucchini from the initial draining). The mixture will be soft and sticky.
• Take a generous tablespoonful of the dough and form (delicately) into a patty. Dredge in flour. Repeat, using up all zucchini mixture.
• Heat oil in large skillet, over medium-high heat, and shallow-fry patties until they are golden brown. Flip over and repeat on other side. Remove as they are fried to paper towels to drain while you continue with remaining patties in the same manner, topping up oil, if necessary.
• Serve the patties with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
