Kolokithokeftedes (Greek Zucchini Fritters)
Ingredients
For Fritters:
6 large zucchini
6 tbsp dill, chopped
8 scallions, white and light green parts finely chopped
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1-1/2 cups crumbled feta
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup flour (plus more if needed)
Salt and pepper
4 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Make Fritters: Lay out a layer of paper towels and spread out grated zucchini. Sprinkle zucchini with salt and let sit for at least thirty minutes and up to an hour. Squeeze out all excess moisture from zucchini.
Put drained zucchini in a large bowl with dill, scallions, nutmeg, and feta. Mix to combine. Stir in eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour until dough comes together, adding slightly more flour if dough is too wet to form patties. Form dough into 3-4 inch patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry patties until golden brown on both sides and cooked through but still moist, about 2-3 minutes per side. Serve hot with tzatziki alongside.
