Zucchini Fritters with Yogurt Sauce
Crisp, savory zucchini fritters served with a cool garlic, dill, and lemon yogurt sauce.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Place the grated zucchini in a colander and toss it with ⅝ tsp (4 gr) salt. Leave it to drain for 15 minutes.
-
Step 2
Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, gather the edges, and squeeze firmly until very little liquid comes out.
-
Step 3
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in the squeezed zucchini, scallions, flour, baking powder, and black pepper until evenly combined.
-
Step 4
Stir the yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and remaining ⅜ tsp (2 gr) salt together in a small bowl. Set aside while the fritters cook.
-
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
-
Step 6
Spoon the mixture into the skillet to make 12 fritters, flattening each to about 1 cm thick. Work in batches without crowding the skillet.
-
Step 7
Cook each batch over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side, turning once, until deeply golden and the centers reach 74°C.
-
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fritters to a serving plate. Serve warm with the yogurt sauce.
