directions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the zucchini into a large colander.
- Toss with 1/2 t salt and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Place the colander in the sink and press the zucchini firmly with paper towels to remove all the excess moisture.
- In large bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 t salt and 1/2 t pepper until light and frothy.
- Using a whisk, stir in the zucchini, then the flour.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 T olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Working on 3 batches, drop in the fritter batter by rounded tablespoons, gently flattening with the back of the spoon, and cook, turning once, until the fritters are browned, 1 1/2-2 minutes per side.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining batches; add more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
- Using a food processor, puree the red peppers with the garlic, the remaining 1 T olive oil, 1/2 t salt and hot pepper sauce to taste.
- Serve the dip with the warm fritters.
