Fritters are very popular in the Middle East. They are eaten hot or at room temperature as a vegetable side dish or a meze. It couldn't be simpler to make, but you can dress it up with optional garnishes of black olives, tomatoes, or hard-boiled egg. The perfect use for small, sweet new zucchini. Serve alone or with a creamy garlic-lemon yogurt sauce for a perfect complement to any spicy or grilled foods that call for a cooling accompaniment.

1 lb zucchini
1/2 cup chopped green onion (spring)
1 small yellow onion, grated
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup kasseri cheese, grated or 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

These fritters were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
