Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded zucchini (2 small or 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 onion shredded
  • 1/3 cup Mitzithra or Parmesan grated (optional, but recommended)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs regular or panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • salt and pepper
  • oil, for frying

Instructions
 

  • Shred zucchini and then place in a clean dish cloth or paper towel and squeeze out all the water.
  • Mix the shredded zucchini with all the other ingredients in a large bowl. Form into balls about the size of a clementine and then press down to form patties.
  • Heat oil (about a quarter inch deep or enough to cover at least halfway up the fritter) in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a few fritters to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for a few minutes or until it begins to turn a nice golden brown and then flip to cook the other side. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining patties.
