Zucchini Fritters
Â
1 lb. Small Zucchini, coarsely grated
1/2 lb. Feta Cheese
6 Scallions, minced
1/2 C. Chopped Fresh Dill
1/4 C. Chopped Fresh Mint
1/4 C. Chopped Fresh Parsley
1 C. Flour
3 Eggs Lightly Beaten
Peanut Oil (for frying)
Â
Place zucchini in a colander, salt it lightly and toss to mix. Let stand in sink or over bowl for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Using a kitchen towel, squeeze out excess moisture and place zucchini in bowl. Crumble the feta cheese over the zucchini and add the green onions and all the rest of the ingredients except peanut oil. Pepper to taste. You can add salt, but taste first, feta cheese has a lot of salt in it already. Stir to mix well. Pour peanut oil into a frying pan about 1/4 inch deep. When the oil is heated, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, careful not to crowd the fritters. Fry, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides. Serve hot.
