Recipe Rewind: Zucchini Fritters

Original recipe here.


Updated recipe:
  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (yellow or white)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt & pepper
In a large mixing bowl, grate the zucchini using the large holes of your box grater.  Pour lime juice over the grated zucchini -- tossing so it's mixed well.  Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Add chopped onion, beaten eggs, milk and flour.  Mix well.

Heat your griddle or non-stick frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil.  Gently drop 2 tablespoons of zucchini mixture on to the hot surface -- space the fritters about 1-2" apart so you have room to flip them.  Flip after about 3 minutes and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes.  Add more oil as needed with subsequent batches.

Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate.  Serve warm.

(Reheat any leftovers on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in the oven @ about 350F.)
