Categories: Veggies-Zucchini

Ingredients

• 1 6oz container Greek yogurt
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 lbs zucchini, shredded
• 2/3 cup sliced scallions
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped plus more to garnish
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup canola oil

Directions

1. Heat oven to 200 degrees. In a small bowl, mix yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and 1/4 tsp of the salt until smooth. Squeeze shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel until most of the moisture is absorbed. In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, scallions, 1/2 cup of the cilantro, the egg, flour, remaining 1 tsp salt and the pepper. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil over medium high heat in a large saute pan. When shimmering, add zucchini mixture in four 1/4 cup portions. Flatten fritters with a spatula until they are about three inches in diameter. Cook fritters 3 minutes, until browned, then flip and cook another 3 minutes. Transfer fritters to a baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm. Continue cooking fritters, adding 1 more tbsp of the oil each time. Serve with lime yogurt and garnish with cilantro.
