Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 1/2 tablespoon chopped dill
1 large scallion, white and green parts sliced thinly on the bias
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Zest of one lemon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces feta cheese, roughly chopped
1 egg
3 tablespoons flour
Canola oil for frying
Greek yogurt
Picked dill, to garnish
Additional lemon zest, to garnish

Directions

Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a grater onto a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with the salt. Let stand while you prepare the other ingredients. Wring as much liquid out of the zucchini as possible, discarding liquid.

In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, mint, dill, scallion, garlic, lemon zest, pepper and feta. Stir in the egg and flour and mix until well combined.

Heat enough canola oil in a pan over medium high heat to come halfway up the sides of the fritters. Form fritters, using 1/4 cup measure, and place gently into the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until the fritters are golden brown on each side, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels for a minute. Plate and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt, the picked dill and lemon zest.

Better than my favorite Greek restaurant...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

There is a wonderful Greek restaurant near my house in DC, and I order their zucchini fritters every time I go. When I saw... Michael Symon make these on television, I knew I had to try them, and I think these might be more flavorful than the restaurant! He's right that you should only turn them once - they stick a little, but with a sharp metal spatula, that's not a problem. They are even better with homemade tzatziki sauce - didn't find a great recipe for it on this website, though. I'd like to hear how Chef Symon makes it!Read more

Yum!!...these taste good and smell deliscious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I also made them the size of a golf ball, I used a wok, and made sure the oil was hot enough when the first fritter went in,... and made sure I had enough oil in the pan, that's why i like using a Wok, it's less oil in the bottom of the pan. they came out great..and even my 10 year old son loved them. I used all fresh ingredients except for dill, used dried, did not have fresh, and used sour cream instead of greek yogurt did not have! but yummy!! will definately make again. patty in El Segundo...saids yum!!!Read more

Recipe needs some help
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed this recipe exactly and had a problem when it came to frying them. They do not hold together (firmed up) well,... stuck to the pan and did not brown. I ended up having to gather the zucchini batter and throw in some finely grated and seasoned bread crumbs so I could make decent patties and re-fry them. I'm not a novice when it comes to frying or cooking so am surprised I had this problem. Perhaps there is something missing from the recipe?Read more

Pretty good but...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I enjoyed watching the chef prepare his Yaiya's recipe on TV, however these fritters did not do well for me. They did not... hold together well during frying, I may have not let the zucchini drain well enough before adding the remaining ingredients. Anyone else have that problem? And no, don't peel the zucchini. Read more
