Zucchini Fritters

I found this recipe a few months ago and have made it at least every other week since then.  These fritters are soooo delicious and full of flavor.

from smitten kitchen

Here's What You Need:

2 medium zucchini

2 tsp salt

2 scallions, split lengthwise and sliced thin

1/2 cup flour

1 egg, beaten

fresh ground black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

Here's What You Do:

Chop off the ends of each zucchini and use a grater to grate both zucchini.  Add the salt to the bowl and allow zucchini to sit for approximately 10 minutes.  Then, take zucchini and press between paper towels to remove extra water. 

Mix the zucchini, scallions, egg, flour, and black pepper (enough for your taste) in a bowl.

Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat and put in 2 tsp of olive oil.  When hot, drop the zucchini batter into the oil. Fry for 3 minutes, then flip and fry for 2-3 minutes on the opposite side.

Allow them to drain on paper towels, then enjoy!  Serve with sour cream.

This makes 6-8 2-inch fritters.
