Recipe type: Side
Serves: 4-5 side dish servings
Ingredients
  • 2 large zucchini shredded, about 8 cups
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • ½ tsp each: black pepper and garlic powder
  • ½ cup chickpea flour
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2 TBS fresh minced dill
  • 2 TBS frying oil, such as canola
Sauce
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 TBS fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. In a large colander, toss shredded zucchini with ½ tsp salt. Let this sit over a bowl for 30 minutes, or more. Place zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze it over the sink to remove as much moisture as possible. Work in batches if necessary (I did it in two batches). The zucchini should reduce to about 3 cups total if you have removed enough moisture.
  2. Toss zucchini with remaining ½ tsp salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chickpea flour, lemon zest and fresh dill.
  3. Form the zucchini mixture into about 10 small patties and fry in the oil until golden brown on each side. I fried mine in two batches, using 1 TBS of oil each time. Over medium high heat, it only took about 3-4 minutes per side, but time will vary based on moisture content.
  4. Meanwhile whisk together yogurt and lemon juice.
  5. Serve the lemon yogurt sauce with the fritters.
