Cheesy Zucchini Fritters
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 onion
- 3 tbsp leek chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- Black pepper
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and place them in a strainer for a couple minutes so it loses water. (note 1)
- Grate the onion and mix with the chopped leek. Add the dry zucchini.
- Add the egg, the flour, the cheese, the salt and a pinch of black pepper. Mix with your hands.
- In a big pan heat enough oil to cover the zucchini fritters. Use about 1 inch of oil.
- Fry the fritters with the help of two spoons (note 2).
- Remove the excess oil using a rack or paper towel. Serve with mustard sauce or sour cream.
Notes
- Zucchinis have a large amount of water. The best way to get rid of the excess of water is to squish with your hands and then let it sit in the strainer for a couple minutes, and then repeat the process. The dryer the zucchinis, the crispier the fritters will be.
- Grab the mix with one spoon and with the other shape the fritters in the oil.
