directions

  • Lightly salt the grated zucchini and put in a colander to drain for 1/2 an hour.
  • Get out as much water as you can by squeezing the zucchini between your hands, before proceeding with recipe.
  • Lightly saute the onion and green onion in 1 tblsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet.
  • In a bowl, combine the zucchini with the onion and add the feta, egg and dill.
  • When this is combined well, add the flour, a little at a time, until you have a very soft dough.
  • Take a tablespoonful of the zucchini dough and drop into a the flour you've put aside for dredging.
  • Gently press down on the dough to give it a pillowey-disk shape.
  • Turn over and dredge other side.
  • Do this to a number of fritters (as many as you think will fit into your frying pan at one go without over-crowding).
  • Heat oil (we use olive oil here in Greece, but a vegetable oil could be used instead) over medium heat and, when hot, add fritters.
  • Fry until deep golden-brown on both sides.
  • Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Repeat, using up remaining fritter dough.
  • Note: Grated pumkin can be used in place of the zucchini.

  1. Excellent fritters. Served with Tilapia.
     
  2. I really liked this recipe. I didn't have feta, so I used crumbled blue cheese which was good, but I think feta would be better.
     
  3. As always, an Evelyn winner! I read through dozens of zucchini fritter recipes, but liked this one because of the feta. Evelyn, I wanted to do a photo, but I halved the recipe (we're 2 diners right now) and made large fritters (my mother would call them "rude"!) I added coarse black pepper, did not have dill so added some fresh herbs. Whatever -- they worked beautifully even with a full egg. Delicious, thank you!!
     
  4. You would have been so proud of me, Ev. I was so close to making these babies w/o a single chg when I realized there was no garlic in the mix, so I added it of course. They get a 5 anyway, so justice was served. After all the rich food we had in the US, I was ready to chow down on a good veggie dish & this filled the need. Yum! Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
     
  5. Yummy!! Easy, healthy and tastes great Had my kids begging me to make more in the same sitting. Thanks for the recipe

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
