Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 2 cups grated medium zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture until mostly dry.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large beaten egg, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; mix until just combined.
  3. Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop 2 tbsp portions of the batter and flatten into 3-inch discs. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, whisk together 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl to create the dill-yogurt sauce.
  5. Step 5: Serve the fritters hot with a dollop of the sauce on top or on the side.
