Ingredients
2 -4 tablespoons The Olive Scene Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Small or medium zucchini
Salt and pepper
1 small onion
¼- 1/3 cup flour
1 egg
Greek Yogurt (optional: add 1 clove crushed garlic)
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and onions – or run them through the grater disk on a food processor, and add to a bowl.
Add the egg, lightly beaten, salt and pepper, and enough flour to make a loose pancake batter-like mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat.
For each fritter, pour a generous spoonful of the zucchini batter into the pan, and spread it slightly.
Turn them over after about 3-5 minutes, or when dark golden brown on the edges and underneath.
Cook 3-5 minutes more on the other side.
Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack, and serve with yogurt as an appetizer or side dish.
Try making these fritters using our Garlic, Herbes de Provence or Harissa infused olive oils for 3 different variations on flavor.
Other ways to enjoy: top a fritter with a slice of fresh tomato and a fried egg for breakfast, or slice the fritters and toss into a mixed green salad. Make a BLTZ (bacon, lettuce, tomato, zucchini) sandwich, or top a fritter with a dollop of hummus and enjoy.
