Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Zucchini Fritters
How to Prepare
- Grate the Zucchini:
Use a special grater to grate the zucchinis into fine shreds, essential for the perfect zucchini fritters. - Remove Excess Moisture:
Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with a little salt. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After resting, squeeze out the excess liquid from the zucchini using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
Mixing the Batter for Zucchini Fritters
- Beat the Eggs:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the 3 chicken eggs to create a smooth base for your zucchini fritters. - Combine Ingredients:
Add the grated and squeezed zucchini to the bowl. Season with salt to taste. Add the 3 tablespoons of flour and mix well until the ingredients are fully combined. Stir in the finely chopped spring onions.
Cooking the Perfect Zucchini Fritters
- Heat the Olive Oil:
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over low heat. - Cook the Fritters:
Scoop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form zucchini fritters. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the fritters for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving and Garnishing
- Transfer to Plate:
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. - Serve Hot:
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped spring onions if desired.
