Photo: Greek Zucchini Cakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound zucchini, grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly milled black pepper
- Olive oil
Directions
Combine the grated zucchini and kosher salt. Set aside for 5 minutes (no more, or it will be mush). Rinse in cold water and squeeze dry in a kitchen towel or press in a strainer or colander until dry.
Combine the cheese, egg, green onions, flour, pine nuts, dill, oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl; fold in the zucchini. Form into 24 small cakes (about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each) and saute in olive oil, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

After reading the comments I added 1 additional egg and 3 more table spookns of flour. I pan fried the cake and then tried it in the over set at 375 for 9 minutes. it had thesame flavor with out the oil. since I was using it as a side dish for greek dinner, i then put a 1 1/2 times recipe in a caserole and baked it for about an hour and everyone wanted the recipe.

If you squeeze all the water out of the zucchini, this dish is delectable! The feta and pine nuts work their magic. Wonderful side or vegetarian main dish.
